Steve:

The number scratched on the pistol is the Social Security Account Number of Arthur A. Martin. He died in Higden, Arkansas on 11 June 1994 according to the Social Security Death Index.

Hugh H. Larock, whose name is on the capture paper, probaby died in February 1986 in Sparta, Wisconsin according to the same source.

Interesting how such a pistol can be linked to a man, or to men, who were real people and lived real lives.

If there were an interest, a request could be made to the National Personnel Record Center to see if the service record of Hugh Larock could be obtained.

Interesting pistol made more so by it's tie to named persons.
