Death Head

[Thor]

Tom, check Techincal Information, then Proof 6 section, then proof #68. Found on the chamber usually over the date of 1916-1918 Erfurts and DWM(late War with a few 1911s also) reworked Lugers during the Weimar Era of 1919-1933. Symbol of the early Flame throwers (Stosstrupps) and Friekorps or something like that and other theories. The SS adopted this symbol as well. The Death Head S over the Head is suppose to represent a flame thrower HOSE. Information found in Jan Still's Luger books, quite rare. This variation is one that is faked up a lot I understand for bookuuu bucks. The Late Mel Torme had one in his collection and it was purchased, along with other nice Lugers by Ralph Shattuck! Jesse Burke missed this one by about a day or so if I remember correctly. This variation is hottly debated amongst collectors. Interesting and chilling variation. Any of this I got wrong please correct me, I am learning too! ~Thor~
