Death Head

Heydrich,

Richard Law's publication "Backbone of the Wehtmacht: Kahr 98K Rifle 1934-45" is a great reference and has a chapter devoted to the death head rifles.

There is a photo of the exact dual death head stamping which appears in the book and on my rifle.

I appreciate all of the input on my comment regarding what a real death head on a Luger must look like. (I have never seen one so perhaps a forum member can post a picture for us all to look at?) The only real death heads I have seen appear on my rifle and I jumped to a conclusion. Although it is very apparent that this marking is far rarer on Lugers than K98 rifles........
