    Skull/Trench Art

    Good day Guys
    This skull attached to a spoon is said to have been collected by a POW and was attached to a board together with some other items-heer breast eagle, tags and some other insignia. As often said judge the item and not the story so here is a pic for review. Any comments as to its originality would be appreciated

            Thanks for all the feedback guys. From what I could see the skull pins go through holes in the spoon. It was hard to make out as the spoon is fixed to a board. Here is the dog tag marked Stalag.

              I believe that it is an "RZM 52" skull. Very interesting!

                  Maybe it was a work in progress that the maker never had time to complete. He may have just been using the spoon to provide a metal base for whatever he was intending to create and never got far enough to trim off the handle and excess metal to leave the shape he planned.

                    I am looking at this after a few glasses of wine and thinking why would
                    anybody do this! The skull looks promising why weld it to the back of
                    a spoon?

                        I could not have said it better myself I was fortunate to be able to buy the grouping-here is the rest of the items posted in the Wehrmacht forum.
