Deaths Head Luger

Ron is correct I am certain. I believe there are legitimate DH Lugers. They are few and far between.

I will say that all DH Lugers should be treated as suspect though...Untill certain forensic parameters are met. The method of application is paramount to me..The Germans did not engrave the DH..I am certain originals were stamped like all the other markings on these period pistols.

Even if one were to be comfortable that the piece were an original it is still a controversial subject that goes further in depth than most people are willing to go.

I have seen many outright poor attempts at fakery that ruined the pistol it was applied to...
