Klaus Schad is the world expert on deaths head Lugers. He owns a collection of deaths head lugers and a similar marked rework rifle. He has researched German unit histories, US archives, German archives, contacted surviving members of the SS and advertised in their newspaper. The possibilities range from WWI flame thrower units, to Weimar independent militia, to various units of the SS. While he has gathered a tremendous amount of information on the various units that used the deaths head, a definitive answer is yet to be found. Perhaps he will comment directly in the forum.
