Brendan, Nice "Black Widow" PO8 rig. If it was actually left behind in the CI, the only part of GB occupied by the Nazis during WW2, I find more interesting than the gun itself. If I were you I would certainly try to get as much documention to this as possible, as that would probably make it rarer than your XKE. The only other Lugers that I've heard about that were captured during the war in the UK, were a few from crashed flight crews and perhaps some smuggled into Ireland. I found the BBC drama about the CI in WW2 facinating. Do you have any good stories yourself or from relatives? TH
