Norm and others,
the 1915 Death Head in my post does belong to me, and I still think it and most(if not all) DH lugers in circulation are fake!
It is surely odd that no DH lugers have surfaced in Europe, all have been found in the US(at least that is the "report").
I strongly suspect they were made by the luger Mafia, though I have heard the story that some dozen or two were created in Germany for export to the gullible US collectors.
