Fred,

I would like to add a little to what John has stated. If you do sell the pistols, give the buer a little history of who, what, when and where the pistols came from. This will maybe kkep some of the history with the pistols and will keep the memory of your dad alive to whoever pusrches them and to the the next purchasers.

Most collectors would love to know as much information as possible as to the history behind the pistols. Several months ago, I purchased 2 pistols from a co-worker that his dad had brought back from Europe. I also received some German medals, money, etc, which was brought back. I have been able to put together a history of the soldier who brought them back to keep together with the pistols for future reference. The co-worker has also sent for his dad's wartime miltary records and I will receive a copy of this to include with the pistols. By doing this, the memory of the soldiers who brought these items back will never die. Just a thought.
