Based on the eye sockets, isn't this likely a copy?
Furthermore, is there any photographic period evidence showing this smaller-sized skull in use on a helmet?

DItto. I'd like to hear what Tony or others have to say. Looks odd to me too, but I don't know for sure.

Isn't he "departed" these days?

He is not an active member but still cruises the forum posts on occasion. When I said email him, I meant from his Bunker web site. I am in continual contact with him via email. In usual Tony fashion, he has made a study of these originals and repros

The site says he is no longer accepting e-mail.

Glad to hear he is still in touch and alive! I think we all miss him here... please pass my greetings on to him.

Cheers

Will do Chris. I have a flight booked in June to visit him for a weekend. A weekend of Haubing, eating and drinking!!
