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