Looks good to me!

I've always wondered...What did the Germans (of either war) think of the M1911[A1]??? Was it a desirable souvenir??? Did they seek them out, look for rare mfgs, send them home to friends/relatives???

Is there, even now, a web site in Germany where they discuss captured M1911's and argue about their authenticity, look for original owners manuals, and even holsters???

(Do they argue about the rumored and rare Russian Contract M1911A1's, with the rare slide crest???)
