Carlsson thank you.
For me you are the best skull and eagle consultant (:

Calvaria,
Firstly, welcome to this forum. And since you are a newby in this hobby I want to PROTECT you from making a(n expensive) mistake.
This skull that you posted is NOT real and hopefully you haven;t bought it already.

All the best,

Emiel

I agree with Emiel that the first posted skull is not original. The prongs should be attached to small round bases then soldered to the skull. This is just a fake that someone distressed to make it look old.

Thank you for your reply Bob.
I have been talking to some other names in this collecting area and they all agree that this is a BAD one.

Let's hope that Peter ( Calvaria ) didn't make the purchase already based on bad opinions

Thanks Niederlande and Bob for help.

IMO the skull shown by the original poster is not good, lack of fine detail to the front & incorrect pin attachment on the reverse

Please let me try to understand you Calvaria, so you still believe the skull you posted is real? Dispite the fact that plenty of longtime collectors of skulls say it is NOT?
Let me then just add some more info regarding the skull that started this thread to those who DO WANT TO LEARN that it's not only the pin attachment that are bad (like the fact that they are made of heavy cast brass, despite the fact that Deschler stopped using Tombak long before this style)

Regards,

Emiel
