Hi Chris,
Welcome. It looks like a nice and original 1918 DWM (Deutsche Waffenund Munitionsfabriken). Imperial. The Death's Head is often touted as an SS or Concetration camp emblem. In actuality it is most likely a Freikorps (post WWI) Nationalist Militia emblem. There is also a thought that it is a Flamethrower unit marking. There are some who believe that they are all fakes. I don't necessarily agree with this theory. There are a great number of these floating around that have been faked and promoted as SS pistols. I'm not an expert on DH marks, but this one looks original. Ron
