It is difficult to find out info on a specific gun / owner. Being military guns they were issued to a person, turned in, reissued etc. There are exceptions, officers and NCO's who became officers many times were required to buy their own pistol. However, unless the gun is unit marked, has documentation etc., then it is the word of the person that told you. Written records, a written or noterized statement all help, but are still "their" word.
