You do know there are hundreds of Lugers at PIA, right? And no Search function there?

An exact URL would be most helpful...Might even get some discussion... :)

A totenkopf at PIA? We might as well discuss UFO abductions and Elvis sightings ...........:evilgrin:

Rich,
When you go to the website, just click on the "New Additions" tab...the TK is the second Luger listed.

When I was on the TK page, I copied its URL--but it is the same as their home page. Let an I.T. guy who knows explain it to us.

Yes You're right.. But No matter what URL on their website, it keeps giving same URL when i paste. Without pictures it's not as convenient to discuss!! :crying:

So I have to spend 10 minutes of my life that I'll never get back looking for it???

Sheesh...

Having found that, the skull is much less cartoonish than other examples, and the crossed bones are more realistic as well...But it's missing the characteristic lazy-S...

Lots of period pictures...

This should work: http://www.phoenixinvestmentarms.com...headpolice.htm

I don't know how you did it!! thank you :cheers:
i too had a difficult time trying to get the URL and that's why i posted the pictures, as i was so eager to discuss, but unfortunately i didnt pay attention to the copyright notice! i'm glad the admin here did! thanks. :D

i had posted one for you, which you'll now see on his website with the provided link by Olle, that i believe you can add to your collection! :evilgrin:

Kinda looks like a biker tattoo to me:evilgrin:

Does PIA take requests??? I'd like my Totenkopf Luger to have the skull smaller, and perpendicular to the boreline...And add the lazy-S... :)

They might suggest that you get your "lazy-S" to work and do it yourself :evilgrin:

I had thought of that...I have Datig's 1958 edition of The Luger Pistol with a pic of an original Totenkopf graphic...I think I could do it justice... :thumbup:

Of that I have no doubt.

Somewhat brutal showing people getting mowed down as part of a sales pitch........

I got my Totenkopf Luger from Elvis, but a UFO abducted it from me.

Be thankful you were spared the anal probe.:cheers:

??????????

I have a small collection of TK's images I've snagged from the net. This one is by far the most realistic looking, but I think this helps tip the scale to the B.S. side, if it was not there already. I'm impressed by the mystery involved in the entire TK concept, at least as it applies to Lugers. Ah, history could be so much easier, if we were able to go back and be a "fly on the wall", to discover the real scoop!

My purpose in collecting these images is to select, or create a version that I'm happy with--not too cartoonish, but not too realistic, either. I have an extra Erma upper for the KGP69, and plan to have the motif laser-etched onto it, just for S. & G. It will be the perfect complement to another, its small parts strawed, which will have the U.S. Great Seal similarly etched onto the receiver, and which I will call the "Ermarican Eagle".
