Hello dear Experts and enthusiasts.
I try to make new pics to get your opinions?

On the aluminium buckle is makers number 822/38 SS.
I checked this code and this means Factory Richard Sieper & Sohne from Ludensscheid.
This company still exist as a Siku and now they make toys models for babys and collectors (:.
Please I need more opinions about skulls. The pins are only cleaned but they are orginal.
The silver one have sign: ges gesch (as previously I wrote).
I appreciate any opinions.
Thanks Guys
Piotr

the first pattern skull looks cast, but I could be wrong.
the second skull is as I previously mentioned an original Assmann skull with the nose and eyeholes wrongly cut out.
The prongs seemed to be intact tough
We need better pics of the buckle...

I find it hard to imagine that the skull with the misplaced holes would not have been rejected at the factory. The pins were hand-soldered and the worker must have seen how screwed up that piece was before attaching the pins. It would also have to have been a soldier with no pride in his appearance who would have worn that piece of insignia...or a real sense of humor!

Thanks guys for you opinons.
Belive me or not I found this skulls in ground.
I dont wont sell it or make money on it
For me it is a piece of history.
