Okay...since I am known to think "pigs fly" sometimes...here goes :
A German immigrant living in the USA gets a bit homesick for things German. He buys himself a German luger in the 1920's through one of the east coast distributors.
Few years go buy and he has a family and some sons.
As Hilter begins to rise in popularity in the 1930's as part of a nationalism movement, one of the sons decides to go "back home" to be part of the German nationalism movement that is on the rise. He travels with the luger previously purchased by his father. This occurs a few years after the lugers in Germany were inventoried and marked "1920"...
Eventually war breaks out and the son goes off to fight, but leaves the 1920's luger at home as it is not an Ordnance pistol....but he perishes during the war.
The War ends and Germany is disarmed by the Occupation Forces. The 1920's luger is found at the dead soldier's home and somehow makes it into the possession of the GI who liberates the pistol...
...Oh well...so much for my attempt at fiction...
Regards...
