M1/52 Deschler Skull

[sandgroper]

G'day all,
I picked up this very nice M1/52 Deschler skull about a year and a half ago from forum member carlsson1982 and I don't think I ever posted it! It is just immaculate, it is certainly the best I have ever seen and I don't regret for a minute buying this one. It is the only one I have, and will probably be the only one I ever own. I don't believe I could have found a better example anywhere and I think I'm lucky to have it. Thanks Sid, and I hope everyone likes it as much as I do,

Cheers, Dave.

Nice that it finally sees the light of day Dave, as it is indeed a superb example.

Cheers,

Very nice! What material is it made from?

[Calvaria]

In my opinion it is brass (not tombac)
The brass has wide range of colours depends of proportions chemical ingredients
Here is mine Deschler skull made from brass, not polisched witch natural patin
