The rear is odd for having only 2 pins, which are somewhat sharp/rounded. An example confirmed here had three flat prongs that were sharp.
Detail looks soft too

Re: opinion on these panzer skulls please
I have shown this Skull on THIS forum, and the consensus is that they are ok. Look at the diff- and you decide.

Re: opinion on these panzer skulls please
I cannot say I am crazy about these... But I hesitate to call them outright fake at the moment. But the rather crude lugs do give me real cause for concern.
"GB" is a legimate wartime insignia maker, but I do not know if they made these? Being made of steel (showing rust) would also be another concern. By 1944 most insignia was made from zink with a silver wash finish.
Hi Bob, yours is fine, but it is not a Panzer collar skull. It is a cap badge.
Cheers, Ade.

Yes, I know mine is SS. I mainly was showing the diff in the back. I have never seen a back like his. Is that a legit confirmation ? (the prongs)

Re: opinion on these panzer skulls please
Got to say, there is some very nice detail to Ade's. Still, the GB 44 mark must hold the story. I would think a faker would put SS runes and a RZM, for example. I could always tell myself the "44" means late war, and materials had gone to....

Re: opinion on these panzer skulls please
Just a bump to perhaps catch any more opinions.
Also, no opinions yet on another skull, perhaps as its in the imperial forum, which I think is the best place:
can you ID this skull? Hussar or Uhlan?
Thanks for looking.
Cheers

Re: opinion on these panzer skulls please
Look like poor repros to me! I don't like them being made of steel, I don't like the prongs and I just don't like them.
