Hi guys- what do you think this stickpin might be from? Found it yesterday. Looks old, pin itself looks original to the making...

Don't know exactly what it is,, I mean we can see its a stic pin.. But,,from where and what time period..
Kinda says Freikorps to me,,the pin itself looks too new though..
Pin looks brass or alloy of.
*The skull has silver paint on it? What do you think material is? Silver? zinc? brass alloy?

Not sure but it's not painted. Looks like it was a pin original to the piece too, in hand- doesn't at all look new. Whatever it is or was, it's early- the whole piece. On the tony Barto ss the consensus was also freikorps or freikorps like, nothing new about it. Looks like a skull ring skull to me!

very nice and interesting piece. Could be German military or fraternal item. But, worth keeping and enjoying.
