The Wehrwolf verbund were part of the Freikorps and considered one of the elite units at the time. During the 1920's they were instrumental in the fight against the communists and anarchists during the Weimar Republic. Here is an excerpt about them;
"Truly, it was the Spirit of the “Werwolf” and its black flag and skull that eventually passed on to the Schultzstaffel - The (SS). When in 1923, the Werwolf had disbanded as an actual combat unit engaged in battle, it became the veterans group named “Werwolf-bund Deutschen Manner und Frontkrieger” (Werewolf Organization of German Men and Front Line Soldiers). As in the days of the Great War and the combat against Poles, bandits, Reds and Sparticists, this group still represented patriotism, honor, and ferocity against Germany’s foes even though most of them now wore the brown shirts of the SA.”
The skulls I have listed are from the Assmann catalog in the 1920's but the period photo documentation clearly shows them being used by the Wehrwolf verbund.
Here are some threads on these types of skulls
