They look simular to the brunswick tradition skull:

The Braunschweigisches Totenkopf has no lower jaw. Very different from whatever these are.

Have a look at the link posted and you will see many variants, incl. with lower jaw.

But agian, just saying they look simular, not that they are

I have three of the same skulls and was told they were likely used as commorative stick pin devices for Braunschweig IR92 and/or HR17, what era that was I cant say. I dont think there is a definitive answer to the question since I havent seen any documentation or photos to support it, yet... (i havent been actively searching).

There are Braunschweig attributable skulls with jaws used for commemorative purposes, but official awards and devices had no jaw.

Thread below is a good starting point... you can see the same skulls in a couple posts by Robin Lumsden within the first 3 pages or so.

No skulls from Imperial times, but I think Brunswick related.
