It is always best to record every scrap of info when an item comes directly from a Veteran.
Cheers, Ade.
100% with Ade on that one. The more info you get, the more context and historical value the items have. Perhaps you could go and visit this guy yourself and have a chat with him. Possibly even record your conversation somehow?

Tell him to bring a recorder, so he can speak as much as possible.

I couldn't agree more!
If he tells you the color and thread count of the socks he wore on D-Day, make sure you take down every last word.

I agree, try and go yourself and gain some info. Somethimes I get a chance to hear some war stories but unfortunately i lack the time to record it since work pressure in the hospital is kind of high.

As Ade mentioned, the Panzer skull with the edge tabs is an original and this type are considered to be late war, you also see Heer cap eagles with the same type of fitting.
