Looks like some kind of "cast" solid copy of a luger, not an actual pistol.

I don't really think of WWII German guns as "NAZI". That would be like saying "Democrat guns" or "Republican guns". NAZI is an acronym for National Socialist. A political party. No doubt, these were bad guys, but I don't associate political ideology with firearms.

Yep! That is not a real pistol. I don't think they had any real firearms there.

Neither do I. Guns have no ideology they are just tools.

In imagination, people fled to South America should carry portable treasures with them, such as gold bars, diamonds, cash etc. Not heavy not big but has great value.

Carried a bunch of these in 1945? How would they make living in the new place...

Rational people don't make those associations. Unfortunately, there are way too many irrational people running around loose these days...

The P08 pistols are not real. They are solid castings.

Looks like a whole lot of "fake" to me. Post war fantasy pieces IMHO.
