Totenkopf on a cross......what is it?

[Pablo]

I bought this in an antiques shop in Germany because I thought it looked interesting, but have no idea what it represents. I would appreciate any info regarding this object. Thanks.

Try the Polish forum.

IMO it's a fake of "odznaka dywizjonu huzarów śmierci". On polish auctions this is a popular copy. Original badge is very, very rare.
From polish wikipedia (copy):


You must looking for Huzarzy Smierci or Polish Death Hussar Divisions. There are not the same Hussars like these from 16th century.
It's a polish division of cavalry create in 1920 or 1919 (Polish-Soviet war)

I'm not expert of this subject - that's a basic information.
