Super story my friend. Since your Dad actually captured the Pistole and told you the story I believe you can "take it to the bank". From you discription you have a fine relic from WWII even though it is a pre-WI Pistole. Not too many pistols have a known history on how it happen to come to you. You are lucky.

If you ever consider selling it, PM me. Write down the known history. Better yet, have your Dad hand write its history and sign it, it may just give the needed documentation to make a fine sale. In my short time as being a collector I have heard many times "it was taken off a dead Nazi at the Battle of __________ just to sell the pistole to a sucker. Yours has a true history.

Thank you for sharing with us. Don't forget to post pictures.
