Well, I ran this by my father again. He may be 84, but his memory is still pretty sharp.

His uncle received this in the late 50's (ok, he was exaggerating about the poker game, he really isn't sure my great uncle's relationship with the original owner) from a gentleman who served (Canadian) in WWII. The story was he relieved a German officer of the holster and firearm.

That fits the results we see above, but if it's true how did the officer end up using an '06 commercial gun.

I have the original registration certification from the first owner, I'm going to dig it up and grab his name. Must be a way to check Veteran's records to find out if the overseas part is true, anyhow.

Thanks for the help guys, nothing but hearsay for now on this end
