The nose socket seems to be showing a coppery hue where it has been rubbed; the edges on the back look rough compared to those of a typical stamped item. The edges also seem to have some inconsistencies in the metal thickness that lead me to believe it's likely a copper electroformed piece.

Here is one that is 100% authentic. Note the black painted eye sockets.

thanks for posting the picture, it looks convincing on its own but comparing to yours the nose teeth and eyes look a bit different.

Do you mean the one posted on ebay looks convincing on its own? This is not my opinion...

The seller of the skull appears to be a busy fellow.

Ah okay... I had not made the link but I knew that the same seller had been suspected to be a counterfeiter in another very recent discussion: http://pickelhaubes.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=9320" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
