This is from one site, asking £3500, the other site with another SS marked K98 stops you saving pics, I will try and find the MP40 later

Hi Ben, yes, this is the usual fantasy marking.
Cheers, Ade.

They're nearly as bad as the OLT markings on Tony Oliver's SS buckles
But then they were never made to deceive........... not at the time anyway
Another decent rig ruined
my friend Tim has a Russian capture BNZ SS K98. it has a single rune on the floor plate and the SS depot number on the side of the receiver and the rifle still shoots great after all these years. i have heard of RC mausers coming into the us with the deaths head plus all the SS runes.
JMB ; I have to disagree in that with regards to rifles there is a set of identifiable patterns of what markings , types and when that the SS zentral zeugamt applied to salvaged 98's. Also at what point new made rifles got zzA2 , zzA4 ,and single rune markings after they discontinued the totehead and commercial proofing of salvaged rifles.
Appreciate the input, but on this instance, i must disagree, although I would usually agree with you, the skull looks very amateur, but i know the history of this weapon, 100% I know who owns it where it came from, and more importantly who owned it. the "most probably owned by a camp guard" is a most definite. I have also seen stuff engraved, stamped and scratched on objects, that you would shake your head at and say "no way" But we don't know for sure, and never will
Merry Christmas oh, its gone, well Happy New Year!
