      Thanks! I did a little bit of generally fruitless digging myself, but did find a Czech web page with a grainy photo of a Cossack standard featuring a similar skull:

        Carsten, nice site many thanks, while I appreciate that they could be copys (the cloth cossack badges), the price I paid meant that they lost money also is it not the aim of forgers to make something that is documented as rare (thus making more money) to copy items that have never been seen seems odd, ah what a wonderful hobby!

            I never seen a patch like this. I suspect this is a fantasy item. The patch is supposed to imitate the "von Jungshultz" cossack unit formed in 1942, however:
            1. The shape is totaly wrong
            2. The unit never had artillery section (it did have 56 machine guns, 6 mortars and 42 anti-tank rifles to be precise

            Best regards

              There was one of these skul badges at the Birmingham Arms show 2 weeks ago on looking at it i thought it was a copy the construction of it was the same as yours so as several or moste of the items shown are copys i would be very sceptical of this groupe
