Good evening gentleman.
Would like to hear Your helpful & much appreciated opinions on this totenkopf/skull of Infanterie Regiment 92, is it original or fake??

Hello Peter, at first glance it looks like a nice original. But upon a little more investigation I'm less convinced. Maybe I am wrong but my concern would be these areas I highlighted indicating casting residue from a mold. Perhaps someone with more expertise on these types of skulls can give you a better answer. I have handled many cap skulls but not this type. Good Luck.
