Default Esquisite 1936 bringback

I recently acquired this nice 1936 dated S/42 rig that was discovered on a dead German officer in a farm house just east of the Rhine river by an Army surgeon who stopped to set up a field surgery post in the spring of 1945 as the Germans were in retreat and the American armor was advancing rapidly eastward. He kept his prize until this date when he (I guess) realized his life span was in danger of ending (he is 91!). Not only are there two matching magazines, but about 10 original rounds of 9mm with the cases dated "43" and "44" were included. Here are a few pictures...
