I'm no guru but I don't care for it. although it may look good, the detail doesn't seem there. I would expect sharper ridges on the upper jaw bone. I researched tons of pictures before I bought mine and the one I have has sharp crisp detail...also the tear drop detail in around the cheeks is not very prominent. ..

But hey, if you like it go for it!
 
The prongs look ok. The soldering looks new....
The cut outs beneath the skull....question marks??
There is a great study on the Pelzmütze Totenkopf in this book. 3 different "main" patterns: I summarised them.
What is the exact size of this Totenkopf??? Is not mentioned....
