Re: Gastapo Lugers
Ray,
Unless there is irrefutable proof that the Gestapo used a particular weapon, go ahead and get ready for the cigartette! I have heard that some "dealers" will classify the "Blackwidow" Luger as a Gestapo Luger. Before buying this weapon, have the seller provide documents to prove it is Gestapo. If they appear real, have it authenticated before passing any money. I would almost make a bet it is a standard Blackwidow Luger.
I do have a friend in Europe who is in possesion of a REAL Gestapo Luger with the agents Arrest Warrent Disc, his papers, and other docusments he had hiden away since the war. My friend received this pistol and all documents proving he was Gestapo after his friends death. My friend had known this gentleman since the late 1940s and never knew what he did in the war. The pistol is a standard Luger with NO identifying marks as to it's past history, only the real documents.
