The type of metal used to make the skull, and other details, let us know when it was made. Your skull would have the prong attached differently than they are. Lets just say it was "upgraded".
What am i looking at rbminis
Although my example is made from zinc and yours is likely tombak or something similar, there are differences in the attachments construction.by Vinniebaggadonuts99
Not really my area of study, there are others here who do study these, some exclusively.

Thank you...
Look at the small details on the other prongs you have looked at. I am not an expert but have learned to look at the smallest/finest detail that are being pointed out. Also the fresh look of the prongs versus the rest of the metal. The solder job done while attaching the prongs are also something to look at.

Breaks my heart... Phil... without giving a number does that sort of thing devalue a piece significantly? Would the Germans replace prongs themselves or would this have been post war?
