Is this an original busby skull?

What do you all think about this busby skull? Any input is greatly appreciated.

I think it looks legit, what do you all think? It measures 10cm X 11.5 cm

my guess is original
but its a guess
its better to hold these in hand if possible
it has its patine, old patine and not artificial aged
hopefully it leads you sommewhere

According to the study in the "Totenkopf chapter" in the great book on Pelzmützen/Busbies (link) there are 3 "patterns" that show clear differences and paticularities.
eg: number of teeth-shape of the eye sockets/nasal cavity-shape of the cranial bones....the crossed bones...
Serious study !!

If you like busbies, probably worth your while to invest in the book to answer questions in the future. :wink:
