Good quality reproduction Waffen SS Visor skulls and eagles are extremely hard to find today. It seems like they stopped making good representations over thirty years ago. These facts drive the prices up and make the chances of snagging one very difficult because they sell as quickly as they are listed. Here is your chance to snag one for yourself, even if you don’t need it now the chances you find a nice visor or cap with a terrible cartoonish skull are more likely than not. Boom now you’re prepared and it didn’t break the bank!
One of the pins on this skull looks like it is ready to break with a small crack at the bend. I would try to avoid bending the pin at this point or be prepared to work with a partial pin or replace it. Fortunately this skull has the box pinch keepers for the pins making pin replacement much easier than soldered pins found on most skulls. If using a skull for a display cap rather than something field worn the one and a half pins you may be left with if installing this skull on your cap will be more than enough to hold it in place. A few tricks I have seen used to secure metal cap insignia with broken pins on original caps is to stitch through the eyes, around the neck of a eagle or my favorite is to use a tiny drill bit to drill a small hole on the outer edge of the insignia making the thread virtually invisible.
