Why don't you e-mail Ralph Shattuck and ask him?
I can only guess as to why he felt it was a "Gestapo" weapon, and I think that </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">use a misleading, incorrect, and potential inflamatory term like "Gestapo"</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">is in the eye of the beholder, as I was tempted to delete a posting on another thread where YOU stated that Hitler was not a war-monger, as I feel just the opposite...
But then this is a forum to discuss interesting items, but specifically Lugers.
