Guys, check this out......dealer sold as 1918 or so.....

This lot was sold by Weitze two times. It was offered as "Wehrwolf", but in my opinion it has nothing to do with the Wehrverband.

I'm sorry, but that is no original. It is a fake.

I purchased one of these from Weitze late last year with a COA.

Are there now four known to exist??

I don't remember that Weitze had an original on his site during last years? There were only MWH fakes for sale. Can you show us pictures?

Nice Jungwolf badge! Is there a name or number back?

PS: Are you still looking for a Wehrwolf skull badge? Please contact me, maybe I can help!

On ebay.de at the moment.

There are some details, which I really like. I think, it has a chance...

Placed ................. before sewing !!

Nice photo....time to place a bid.

Here is an interesting stickpin, I think.

I agree.

Looks to me like a poor quality cast thing.

The real FK Elisabeth TKs looked more like this ..................

Whatever it is, it is no cast skull.

It could be the sleeve insignia of the Freikorps Elisabeth.

A German dealer offers it:

What surprises me is that both your insignias show the very same conditions and stains (check several places)

Did he just use your pictures?

It was already in another auction and it is the second time for sale. It is the same skull.

Some other photos.

The skull in #1759 looks not like a typical busby skull.

What is this? Looks old, dark silver patina back....means nothing....

Details like teeth look not very sharp.

Ideas?

It is no headgear skull.

It was used on a flask for Reservisten pre 1900. Photo shows a Braunschweig HR17 flask!

Already the youth prefered skulls.

I think, I read they were made in the 70's. But I'm not sure.

Although I think the last 3 pictures don't show us formations, which normally wore the skull on helmets.

These are so called "Budenzauber" photos, just for fun.

The soldiers removed the skulls, after the fun photos were taken.

Excellent Flammenwerfer repro!

Here is photo which was posted by another collector. It was in a Stahlhelmbund id card.

A new skull should arrive soon.

An older skull pattern, that I have already seen on Imperial, Freikorps and early SS caps.

PS: Notice the nice polished egdes of the bones and the rarer double prongs back!

No Flammenwerfer, but my new favourite skull photo.

I can add this photo to the thread.

Welcome your thoughts on this skull, larger than the Brunswick and heavy, was very rusty when I got it....?

This aged fake you can find on ebay.com sometimes.

Similar original skulls existed. Please compare it with the photo!

Another skull?

Buyer meant, it was worth to him more than 300 Euro.

I'm sure some collectors have seen this item in an auction.
