For those who haven't seen the Luger that Ron is referring to. It has been identified and verified by the director of the Fieseler Society / Museum in Germany through interviews with several of the surviving Fieseler factory employees.

It also is going to be presented in a documentary film about the history of the Fieseler Company and their aircraft, in the near future.

A 1923 (1919) commercial with blank toggle and chamber. Verified to be a Fieseler factory guard pistol.

Right side bears E/GW3 and E/HZa16 proof and acceptance stamps.

Shown with guards badge. Pin-backed badges were worn only by Officers/Supervisors. Guards had cloth patches sewn to their uniforms.

View of blank toggle and chamber.

One thing that I find more than coincidental is the Krieghoff firing pin retainer. Since Fieseler came under control of the Luftwaffe. I believe this may have been a replacement from an on site armorers parts box.

Unmarked shoulder holster.
