    Couple of new Skulls

    These two just came in a hoard of "stuff".

    The Assmann skull is heavily vaulted and has the oddball low mounted pins. It's a bit of an ugly duck but I think it has a certain charm.

      Not a "dug" skull.

      It was from a little vet group in Gladwin Michigan. Here's a shot.

        The pins are remounted. Lovely BeVo skull.

          Hi Ian,
          I don't think they were remounted in the low position. There is no evidence of them ever having been mounted higher. I have seen two or more with strange pins before. If I remember right there was another skull with one high and one low pin and another skull set up just like this one.

          Here are a couple better pics. Notice you can even see the "Assmann lines" in the upper bone on the left.

            Here you can see how vaulted it is. Maybe it was on a crusher?

            I am surprised the zinc didn't crack when it was done.

              The skull is of course, original. I have not encountered one with both prongs placed down low like on this one, but there has been many strange anomalies found when it comes to the prongs, that were made or applied in some way, different from the norm but are absolutely period done. Prongs were hand applied and therefore, can be unique sometimes. I really believe that this skull was made this way and I can see no reason to believe otherwise. Like you said, there are no traces of solder on the upper bones and the solder that is there looks period, imo. Congratulations on a nice haul!

                Here's a mint example I owned for some time. It's gone now.

                Same place of attachement.

                (If a moderator can turn the pictures please, I would be gratefull. Thanks.)

                  Hi Chris,
                  Thanks! It never gets old getting groups like this in.

                  Hi Kris,
                  That's a great skull!

                    I would say for a ss side cap
                    In this photo is not a skull assmann but see the eagle
                    It is easy that the skull would follow the curvature as well

                      Hi Olle,
                      That's a great picture. The eagle is nearly folded in half!
