1918 is OK. The Death Head Lugers are WWI or later Freikorps. The Death Head isn't just a WWII insignia. Current guess is that they were WWI Flammenwerfer (flamethrower) issue. There was an earlier thread on this particular gun. I have one dated 1913 and have seen pictures of 1915, 1917 and 1918, both Erfurt and DWM.
