May I suggest you use a proper hosting site or pay to join as an Associate Member because my internet security stopped me from accessing the page you have the photographs on.

In my opinion fake

You know I could stair at these this all day ....
I wouldn't know the difference except for the ones with the serrated edges.
Why do you think this is a fake ?

I cannot comment on the skull other than to say if it's a fake it would have fooled me.

Cheers, Ian.

Still suport my opinion.
Alloy doesnt match time where those type skulls were produced.
Looks modern and cheap.
Not old natural patina on surface.
Cranial sutures (especially front) looks bad.(on back they are not visible)
If this skull is relic the back edege of skull is looking to fresch.
And sand sand....old trick how to made from fake orginal item.
Summary for my this skull was buried in someone garden maybe for one month.

Thanks for your opinions.
Any comments on Funia's points?

[J. M. C.]

These types are fine.
The construction is consistent with other skulls of the time frame. These are just more varieties from a WIDE range of skulls used.


IMHO

I'm with Funia's opinion (as previous).
Look at the white solder!
These are €5 skulls from Sandman (he sells the two types).

Actually original skulls of this pattern are pretty scarce!
