I never dismiss anything outright, and I'm sure that especially at the end of the WWII any German soldier would have probably used any weapon grabbed from the battlefield, but in this case I agree with the above post, and I would add that also here it's not uncommon to hear a seller telling interesting tales while trying to sell a gun, so several P08 Lugers are reported as taken from a "German officer"... better still if he was a member of the SS ...
I bet everybody would be interested to see some pictures of that pistol.
Regards.
