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

[Pablo]

I bought this in a German antiques shop and thought it interesting. Can anyone tell anything about it?

Fantasy item????

Seems to have a WW1 "strosstrup" skull! Crossed swords to signify combatant, on a stylized iron cross......

Fantasy biker badge.

The proprietor of the store claims it to be authentic WW1 era. But maybe he was duped as well as I.

If it isn't Polish, then indeed a fantasy badge.........!

[AMTG]

Hope you didn't pay too much for it...

It does have WW1 iconography on it.....

[Pablo]

Well....crap. I'm back home in the States and can't take it back!

It's hard to resist sometimes when your actually in the shop with the item in hand, especially in Germany, and you have to make a choice on the spot....again hope you didn't pay much, but it is a nice looking badge!!!

I haggled him down to $100,,,,,which I now regret.

$100 is a lot of money wasted on something you have no idea about.
Better to get some books on TR insignia/regalia than to blindly
buy something just because there is a skull on it.........

What does the screw-back attachment look like ?
