DEATHSHEAD USA HISTORY
IT WAS AFTER WORLD WAR I THAT THESE NOW ICONIC “DEATHSHEADS” BEGAN TO ADORN AMERICAN MOTORCYCLES. THE DESIGN WAS OFFICIALLY COPYRIGHTED IN 1933, REGISTERED IN 1934, AND NAMED “THE FLOATING SPIRIT.” THEN, A DECADE LATER, DURING WWII, AMERICAN COMBAT SOLDIERS ENCOUNTERED GERMAN TROOPS IN BATTLE WHO WERE WEARING SKULL BADGES. THE GERMANS CALLED THE DESIGN ON THE BADGES A “TOTENKOPF.” THE TOTENKOPF DISTINCTLY RESEMBLED THE FLOATING SPIRIT MASCOTS THAT MANY OF THE AMERICAN SOLDIERS HAD MOUNTED ON THEIR HARLEY MOTORCYCLES BACK HOME. THE SOLDIERS LEARNED THAT “TOTENKOPF” TRANSLATES TO “DEATHSHEAD” IN ENGLISH. LATER, AFTER THE WAR, MANY OF THESE ROUGHNECK VETERANS BEGAN TO FORM THREE-PATCH MOTORCYCLE “CLUBS” AND PROCLAIM THEMSELVES AS ONE-PERCENTERS. THE DEATHSHEAD STEADILY INCREASED IN POPULARITY WITH “CLUBBERS.” THE DEATHS HEAD DESIGN IS NOW OVER 90 YEARS OLD AND IS REGARDED AS THE FIRST 1% FENDER-FLOWN BADBOY. THE WARRIOR-STYLE DEATHS HEAD DESIGN WITH FLAMING RED EYES, CHEVRON-EMBLAZONED TEMPLES, AND A MOVING JAW WAS THE MOST POPULAR.
THE “DEATHSHEAD” HAS ALWAYS BEEN A WELCOME ADDITION TO KNUCKLEHEAD, EL, UL, VL, FLATHEAD, PANHEAD, SHOVELHEAD, CUSTOM BUILDS, BOBBERS, AND CHOPPERS
