Hello,
Recent items picked up from an older collection. Such things are not my specialty, so I'm asking for your observations. The skull has three sets of foldablbe flat brass prongs. There is a remnant of a silver wash on the reverse. This wash is completely gone from the obverse. The second piece (Hessen) has only one attachment point on the reverse, a thin screw post behind the rosette at the bottom of the Wappen. I really don't see any evidence of other attachment points.
