To GerColctor:

The reason I think the German may have been an officer is only my wild assed guess. I have read somewhere that German SS officers were often shot on the spot. If I had been a German SS officer, I would have dressed as an enlisted man if possible.

My guess is certainly not proof however.

The WW1 era Luger is in a well-repaired holster. The holster had been hit by a bullet or something which went all the way through the holster. Whoever was wearing that holster at the time got a terrible leg wound.

The Luger has the unit I.D. on the front grip strap.

The next time I visit my brother, I will take several pictures of the Luger and the holster.

How do I post pictures inside a reply in this forum? I tried to drag and drop, but that did not work.
