1916 Death Head

Jasta2 · 03-18-2019, 09:10 AM

Don, I noticed quite a difference in the details of each Deaths Head. The 1916 has far more detail than that of the 1917. In looking at each of the 3 Death Heads faces and their detail differences, mouth/teeth, eye and nose shapes and "S", I believe they were all from different stamps. I would think most original Death Heads would be made from one original stamp. Would be interesting to compare what is considered to be a "True" Death's Head stamping to the rest.
