Help needed identifying a skull badge

[WRANGEL]

Good evening gentlemen,

I need your help identifying a skull badge (the bright one). Is it a fake of the german skull (I have put one in comparison, sorry for the vert-de-gris) or is it a re-use in some foreign country (maybe South-america) of the german pattern of this skull badge ? Eyes and nose are not hollowed out.

Cheers

Can you inform the size of the badge ?

Hello Bayern,

Yes, sure. Height is 30 mm and width is 28 mm.

Cheers

Looks like a Freikorps badge: "Schwarze Schar" (Bergerhoff.

No. 805.1 from the Katalog der Uniformabzeichen der deutschen Freikorps

Also similar to the Braunschweiger Totenkopf Rgt. 17 tradition badge. I have no idea about the originality of the badge.

 

Cheers,
