Product Description
The skull emblem is originated from the pirates’, and the like daredevils’, tattoos.
In the Soviet and then the Russian army, this emblem is associated with the wars in Afghanistan and Chechnya.
In many military units since the Soviet epoch a man served in Airborne Troops was often called “Skull”. The skull as it is means: I was close to death, and a beret (depending on its color) points out at the particular corps or hit squad.
The scull symbolizes fearlessness in the face of danger and death.
The “dead head” still remains one of the most widely used emblems among military companies of several countries of the world.
A skull with crossed blades is used by soldiers of fortune at different armed conflicts.
Some units of Russian Armed Forces, mainly special force, airborne troops, mariners, sometimes use the symbol of a skull in a beret on their sleeve-patches and tattoos.
Among bikers the skull commonly symbolizes bringing victory and protection from death. There is a legend that whenever death comes, it puts its mark on the deceased – a skull, and if someone already has this sign, death thinks she has already been there and does not take the man away.
