Description

In 90% original condition, we have a very rare 1912 Erfurt Luger that was reworked for SS use and bears the Totenkapf Deaths Head lazy S on top of the receiver along with the correct corresponding holster.  These are guaranteed original examples and correspond completely with other known examples.   It is believed that these guns were reworked no later than 1940 for SS use in the concentration camps that were expanding at the time.  It is believed that these pistols would have been carried by camp guards in the horrendous and odious Nazi work and death camps.  As rare as the pistol is, the holster is even rarer, we have only ever had one other example and this is identical in the marking of the Totenkapf as to the stamping an the location.  This is fully rigged out with the spare mag and tool.  This is the only completely intact SS reworked Luger rig that we have ever sold, most are located in old and famous collections and rarely are offered for sale.  This is a ghastly but important artifact of WW2 and clearly establishes the Nazi intent to instill terror and un-mitigated evil on those that they enslaved.
