Hi,

it‘s the entire skull... very bad frontside, incorrect pins on the backside and the sloopy marking shows it, too.

Best regards,

Thank you for the kind words, David!

As for the skull, the markings are similar to what is found on the original early Deschler "D.&S.M."
marked skulls, but the overall look of the front side is a hidious attempt. Of course, as was stated, the prongs are also wrong, but the problems on this skull are everywhere. This is not one of the better reproductions.

Here is one thread on early Deschler skulls that I started a while ago that might help you:
