What John has said reflects my exact point of view.
Photographs are not always a good indicator of what the actual finish looks like, I' afraid there is some cause for doubt as to the originality of that pistol.
As far as the death head mark is concerned, so far all the so called "Totenkopf" Lugers that I've seen looked as if somebody had tried to "improve" them ... and even more I would think about this one with a pantographed D.H.
IMHO
