Would somebody please tell me what this is? What it represents, what country it is from, and whether it is rare, or common? Thanks!

Hi Bob, no idea, other than the name is that of a town in Flanders.
Cheers, Ade.
At the town hall of Poperingen there is THE Death Cell ;where condemned deserters were held before being shot at dawn at the execution pole in the courtyard.
700 soldiers died that way.
Could it be linked to each other??
The guy I acquired it from told me it is an anti-partisan armband, and that it is the only one in existance. I am assuming that anti-partisan means pro-nazi?
Hi
sure, it's from belgium and a flemish city
the armband is the armban dof a belgian medal of ww1, it's for the medal " la croix du feu " - the fire cross
Croix de Feu 1914
this kind of skull was used by the group " les affranchis ", " les affranchis " was a belgian resistance's band
cheers
