Re: Big Fake, Fantasy Skull Thinghy?!?!
Wow, never actually expected this to be a real item because looking at it first I thought it was Second World War, but I couldnt think what it was actually for and just assumed that it was fantasy because it does look a bit stupid in my opinion I've got it here if you need to better pics to possibly identify it as real or fake....
Thanks again Ade
Danny

Hi Danny, that's the one.
I will leave it to the WW1 lads to determine if it is original or not.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: Big Fake, Fantasy Skull Thinghy?!?!
Im not too sure about this one! I think what makes me wonder is the fact that firstly it was found in a skip and from the picture there appears to be damage to the left eye socket, why would someone fake this type has anyone ever seen a fake one before, i never have nor have i seen a film tv or series that shows this type, it could be a one off made by the owner of an original Husaren but it wouldnt have been cheap, it makes me wonder!!!

Re: Big Fake, Fantasy Skull Thinghy?!?!
Hi Dave, I has seen fakes of these made and sold here in England since the 1970's. The were sold as fake along with British cap badges etc. I never really paid much attention to them at the time being outside of my interests. But I was hesitant to openly call the one shown first a fake, as I don't know enough about them to explain why it is a fake. I have no idea what an original looks like on the reverse etc.
Cheers, Ade.
