The only two death head Lugers I have ever seen were obvious and crude fakes. One had been touched up over the stamping with a "blueing" pen. I had great luck several years back in acquiring a genuine GEW 98 death head rifle. This gun is 100% correct as an early variation. The photo's of the two death heads on the rifle follow. I have used them as a guide when looking for fakes since I would think that any Death Head Luger would have a similar marking. The key to my spotting the fakes was the mouth of the death heads which should show a full set of teeth. Also, notice the "dimples" on the ends of the crossed bones.
