Kevin, I know this is on no "concrete" evidence but my grandfather chose to keep this particular luger over others that he collected during the war while on the front lines, because of the death's head and date on the same. So I know that it did atleast come back from the war with this mark on it. I believe it is an authentic mark and am just enjoying sharing the gun and hearing the comments.

You have the right attitude...There are many well meaning people on these Forums who proclaim items fake or not right. Why? Might be the safe comment..

This DH looks right to me, a student novice. I recently saw two of them at the Phoenix gun show that WERE fake! So Luger Doc is right. Fakes are rampant.
Just enjoy what you know and have.
