Deaths Head Rework

Hi Ron,

Thanks for the reply.

Please click on the link below to see pictures of both the lazy "S" stamp that is on my GEW98 DH rework and the same stamp on my DWM DH rework.

My question is: If the lazy "S" stamp is attributed to flamethrower units or the Weimar period what is it doing on a rifle that is documented as having been reworked for the SS during the Third Reich period?

I am not being argumentative here but I have heard of the flamethrower theory before and, with the 2 examples I have, I really don't understand it.

Do you have a possible explanation?

Regards, Leon
