This one came with a back story that I have yet to verify.

It was one of several hundred firearms brought back from Europe at the end of WW-II by one of the younger members of Patton's personal staff who is now in his 90's. He apparently had a fondness for confiscated firearms, and the means and the authority to get them back home in large numbers...

More if I get some factual information to back it up.
