Now that you mention it, some of the totenkopf skulls do look like some of Von Dutch's work!
 I remember some of his artwork from when I was a kid building model kits...I may even have had one of his T-shirts... I was saddened to hear of his death...  The pistol is pretty wild looking...

As I recall, the pistol was handmade by Von Dutch himself.

 I can't tell if this is the same one, but here's a leech from Cycle World, Nov 2010 - Von Dutch also crafted guns and knives. This scratch-built .45-caliber black-powder pistol, a twin to one given to McQueen, sold for $14,040.
