Bogus stamps

It would be a real shame if those stamps were put on a genuine holster!

That stamp image is called the "Death Head" (a skull) or Totenkopf

Look it up on the internet and if you want to buy one, they are on eBay all the time!

It's supposed to look like a skull and an urban legend associated it with "SS" weapons. Sometimes people will stamp it on a "byf" Luger and add black grips, and call it a "Black Widow".

none of it is authentic that I know of.

John,

this holster was on ebay recently. It was an original holster "ewx 1942." However, someone ruined it by adding not one, but 2 fake SS stamps to the backside. I guess one wasn't enough???
