It appears to try to mimic the SS totenkopf. I would take the claim with a grain of salt.

I agree wih Scott, so far I'd never sen a TK like that on a Luger, and in fact reminds me a lot of the Waffen SS Visor Hat Metal Insignia.

These are French volunteers to the German army. Not all soldiers were filthy all the time. There was guard, garrison and occupation duty which did not involve combat.

Pictured is a scarse, MP38/40 transitional gun. Replicas do not come with early, slab-sided magazines or early, non ribbed magazine wells.

The negative is reversed so the MP40 is backwards. This is the only issue I see with this image.

I had see this picture before many times also.
It is a wartime photo and, if I remember correctly, it was first published in a German magazine called "Signal".
