Gut reaction? It's is a fake. Pictures would help a great deal. There are some "death's head" Imperial lugers that most accept as vintage marked. There is no consensus as to who used them. These lugers are late war; 1917/1918. The fact that the pistol appears to be refinshed and the "Red Nines" don't help. Just my opinion. Best to avoid these "exotic" items.
Where did you pick it up?
