1916 Death Head

Ron, Looking closely at your photo's details, along with Don's three, I feel they are all 4 from different stamps. Most notable, the shape of the ears, among other details. I think yours has the best/clearest stamping. The Photo of the DH in Lugers at Random sadly is to poor to see the DH detail.

It's a popular belief that the 'deaths-head' is a Freikorps marking. There may be different 'stamps', as there were different Freikorps geographical groups.

Lots of differing opinions on this topic.
