My father-in-law just inherited it from his brother who bought it back from WWII. I cannot find a S 25 reference in the blue book. It has 325 (I assume the S/N) stamped on everything along with the S 25 on the toggle. There is a small 33 on the top of the gun. On the right side of the gun are some of the graphics shown on this site (the eagle types). I do not have the gun now but will try and verify the graphics. The numbers under the graphics are 6 81 67 67.
Now for the kicker. It is not blue. Looking at it, we assumed it was stainless but that wouldn't fit the time period so it must be nickel, yes?
His brother said he had removed it from a dead German Colonel in 1944. I wish now I had asked his brother where he in Europe he removed it before he passed away.
The gun is a easy 90%+ in my opinion with walnut stocks. It has not been fired in 30 years and really looks sharp. It is not for sale but to know it's history would make it that much more interesting.
Thanks for any help. I have some pictures of it but a Sony digital 8 does not take the clearest pictures for detail.
