"High Ranking Officer's" Arty

This was probably von Hindenburg's personal packin' pistol, and just my luck...I'm broke.

Another lost opportunity.:mad:

I am curious though, did they "pre- rust pit" it before they chromed it at the "High Ranking Officer's" request? Or was this just their way of giving them a little surprise when they received their new "High Ranking Officer's" pistol.

I've been told that these Chrome Artillery pistol's were issued to High Ranking Officers

You know, I have been told this too. Does that mean I should believe it?

"GunRon" is Ron Smith isn't he? This would be a nice piece if they had the original pearl grips.

I actually talked to this seller today. Seemed like a nice guy, he mentioned this auction, and I told him it was a gun show myth.

Seems like an honest charector, nice guy on the phone.
