I was curious about that too. I used to own a Ruger 9mm but it was nowhere near that old!
I think he must have "misremembered" what it was as he states further on in the account when he returns to his company after being injured -
"From Paris France I took a train to Schillingstadt, Germany where Company A, 23rd Arm'd Infantry Battalion was located. It was sure great to see Sgt. ******** and most of the fellows I had been with when I got wounded.
I was surely glad to talk to ***** ***** and I was quite surprised when he gave me my German Luger 9mm and Belgium pistol 7.65mm or 32 caliber. He told me that Lt. ********* had taken my German Ruger 9mm. I didn't know what to do about that."
Maybe it was a P38?
