    Welcome to the forum, Morten. Thank you for the nice photos, good views of everything.
    In my opinion the second dealer was right. The skull is artificially aged on the outside, they forgot about the inside.

    a misunderstanding. the dealer was 200 years old and this is the skull from when he was a boy.
