Many thanks

These early skulls are notoriously difficult from photos as they were made from the late 19th century right through to the end of WW2. There are at least a dozen slight variants, maybe more.

The pins seem a bit wider than usual, but I have seen even wider pins on the earliest types.

I'll stick my neck out and say that it looks fine to me. It's certainly NOT one of the known fake types.

Best regards,

Robin.

Thanks all for the replies! If anyone has one of these skulls could they possibly post a pic of it?
