Marvin,

The I have not seen the document in years - its in the safety deposite box at the bank. I will have to take a look and maybe copy it one of this days. As I remeber it listed my uncle by name (he was an Marine officer)and described the Mauser for what is was and included the serial number. Thats about all I can remeber. I will try and get down to the bank one of these days. The gun is in good shape except the blue is worn from holster use. I guess Japs were allowed to buy their own sidearms or maybe the Germans supplied them with some older weapons. Beats me how it ended up in Japanese hands.

Best regards,

Rod
