[Praelus]

Any opinions on the following four skulls?

SS Overseas Cap Skull



SS First Pattern Skull (one prong replaced)



Tombac Panzer Skull



Another Tombac Panzer Skull



Thanks for looking!

The button is certainly nice, as are the panzer skulls. Can't comment on the early SS skull, but it is from a great source.

Skulls

I'm not sure the skulls are Panzer, unless they're the small skulls for collar tabs. If the skulls are "cap-badge" size, they're not Panzer, but could be for a variety of uses - SS, Army Regimental, very early SA, and even some HJ units wore those. If I'm wrong, please correct.

I would like to point out that the last skull posted appears to be made of CupAl, rather than Tombac. John, could you please check to see if there is aluminum showing around the outer edge? Usually, when a piece looks like plain red copper, it will be actually CupAl. Tombac usually looks more yellow like brass and plain copper was rarely used by itself, other than what we see on CupAl pieces, IMO.

Thanks!

Skull

Last skull shown was silver-colored at one time. Many early skulls have a brass or copper base metal. Some, like my 1st-pattern RZM (ST.&L.mfgr.) skull had a tin-type plating that was quite shiny at one time.
