Opinions on this 499/41 Skull?

Hello everyone. I believe this to be a good skull but defer to the experts.

Opinions would be much appreciated. Assuming it is good a ball park
value would also be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Oriskanny9915, Thanks for the post..The forum is a shared collective of knowledge
and insight.. Not a "appraisal" service.. I for one, have saved thousands of dollars and gained
a pretty good amount of information. May I suggest a "Club member" status.. You can't go wrong
if seeking advice and some friends, perhaps... Good luck and I hope you find your answers... G

Skull is orginal in my opinion (:
It's hard to estimate value.

For sure is not cheap (:

I dont know about this one. Patina sure is brassy. Would need further pics without flash to get more definition of this piece.

I think the brassy patina will simply be the copper layer showing through. I like the quality to this example but agree that it will not be cheap.

Hi John, welcome to the forum!

Certainly original.

Value: agreed, not cheap by any means. $500 plus..... I would suggest trawling dealers sites to get a feel for what is being asked for these today.

Cheers, Ade.
