Datig, Jones, and Sturgess & Gortz also discuss the Totenkopf Lugers. I am one of the few who believe there are 'real' Totenkopf Lugers, and that they were borne by the Freikorps.

I therefore second Ed's suggestion that those who feel the proof is bogus discuss their concerns direct with the retailer before publicly castigating them.
The issue here is not whether they are 'real' or fakes but that there is no way to prove their authenticity or even their origins. IMHO, any seller should make an effort [the 'disclaimer'] to let the buyer know that. To definitively state that it is an 'SS' Luger is misleading.

It's not my job to police the Internet. I'll do my complaining with my wallet.
