For me It's still Original. The details on the front and back is enough for me and not like the repro's I've encountered.

I have a couple ground dug Totenkopfs myself, and I have to say, this just looks way to nice to be dug. The pins are not all distorted from being ripped off the hat or it is not lacking a pin or both,suggesting the skull fell off the hat.There is no damage or decay at all,which is very unlikely. I am not saying that this wasn't dug, I am just skeptical. Also the pin attatchment itself looks a little hokey to me.

Condition of dug depend on type of soil.
If it be a sand sometimes dug are looking almost like new.
In heavy mineralized soil grunt artefact is sometimes heavy damaged.

Pin are attached very preciously.

On this pics you dont see it but this skull is incredible preciously made
