I had to pass on the skull because there were no other references to it that I could find besides replicas which were made out of different material and I had checked all of the FRIEKORPS that someone threw out there on this blog and nothing under the veterans either

That’s great Steve and Jeff yes that seems to be the one website that everybody is referencing. I’m wondering if there’s more out there like maybe Steve’s book has some pictures of all the schools in it would be amazing but I only got to see the first page, lol let me know if there’s any pics in...

I don’t really use the words contemporary so I don’t really know what you’re talking about there but what my question was just to clarify is that I would’ve liked to know what type of visor cap I could put my circa 20s Danzig skull on? And also if anybody has an original skull laying around for...

Contemporary? It’s an early 20s circa Danzig totenkopf skull Lars. It’s Very rare. And expensive might I add also. Does this help?

Just looked through all of these different regiments and cannot find anything, but what I did fine is a early totenkopf skull on some of these visor caps and was wondering if the skull I got would fit the 92nd IR shown in the picture I believe my skull is early nickel silver is circa 1920 or 21?

I will be getting an original mint condition ir92 one that actually is a friend of mine that is on this website as well. He posted it a while back. I got from him so that I could put the badge on the visor but now it is too risky and I will just keep the visor until I find the correct one to go...

Thank you for the information is very much needed and if you can find the fat head style skull for me and anyone of those regiments that would be great. I would love to see if it is something I could add to a cap.

This is a friekorps emblem sold by ima doesn’t look anything like mine :)

Any photos of them? To compare

I have an original brunch swag 92nd Regiment, but there’s no way I’m gonna poke holes in it. If I don’t know this thing absolutely goes on it. It could be a World War II cap or something along those lines. I just don’t have anything to compare it to, which means I don’t think it’s a reproduction...

Here is the closest thing I can find online and it is a reproduction. I took pictures of the front and back of a few different ones and it says in the article what they were made of, but mine is brass with copper and I looked into the World War II regiment, it was a horseback regiment 17th I...

I ran it past a few of my friends at the bigger picklehaube dealers, and they all said it was original and they showed me a couple pictures of the darker ones. I’m actually going to do an x-ray test on the metal to see exactly what it is to make sure it’s brass and silver on top with the silver...

I’ve been told from some of the biggest picklehaube collectors at this totenkopf is legitimate real for a particular Braunschweig visor cap. But from looking at the original pictures, there are two different types of totenkopf for the two units. That being said mine looks like the one on the...
