Death Head

I would like to think all of you for your input on this matter. The previous owner of the gun that I purcased, agreed to take it back; he was very fair about the issue. I was unable to get any photos of the gun before I returned it. Im very sorry, I did not have enough time.

This was done for several reason:

1. The gun had a bad refinish job (part of it had been repolished and it just didn't look consistant with other period erfurts I have seen)

2. It appered to have some of the markings polished off.

3. I could not get an agreement to some of the individuals I showed the gun to.( they to questioned its lit.)

4. The lessons that the fourm taught me

I paid 1000 bucks for the gun, but agree this fine gun (if real) was screwed up when the original owner thought it would be neet to have it plated, thus leaving it in the shooter grade. I did recently see a deaths head at the tulsa gun show for sale at 2500 bucks and its markings looked the same as mine. This still offers no proof.

Do all of you agree?

Think I will stick to the good stuff in the future!!!!
