Joe,

The number of rifles with the same Lazy S Death Head and C/N proof that were brought back from WW11 says very louldly that these were SS Camp Weapons. The SS Collecting community recognises the Death Head lugers as SS WW11 Weapons. Joe, there are lugers out there that are fairly new with dates in the 30s and 40s displaying the Lazy S over the Death Head along with SS Marked Holsters. There are Death Head Lugers on capture papers that I have seen in collections. You have not thrown a wrench into the works but rather afforded an opportunity to clear up soome misconceptions on the Death Head Luger. I made the point prior about about what some writers had written aboout te Death Head Lugers. At that period of time, little was known about the SS Property Stamps.
