1st Pattern SS Danziger Skulls

Featured Replies

I've always preferred the first pattern Danziger skulls over the more well-known and sough after 2nd pattern. These were also used as a traditions badge in a unit or two. There's a surprising amount of variety out there

 

At some point I'll assemble a small Allgemeine insignia display, but for now I figured I'd show the cap insignia...

I recently obtained on unmarked skull that came from a veterans estate sale with a nice 1st class IC, assault badge, wound badge, and several other items. I'm sure its a good piece but it has no maker marks on it. Is there any books available that would help in putting a good identification on it?

There's a good thread on WAF, but I don't know how many of these can be traced to makers, as I don't think any of the first patterns were marked

Why not post it here for discussion and review?

 

The left style shown in the 1st post is known as the lemon eye.
