After finding this board I realized I may have done a stupid thing. I purchase a captured PO8 from a WWII Vet (friend of the family.) It was a bring back with the holster and bring back papers from the US Govt. He said he obtained it in a Govt warehouse in Germany. Now the stupid thing...I SOLD IT. I needed cash a few years ago and sold the holster and weapon. The only thing I rememer were it had a 4" barrel, a stainless looking mag and the number 42 stamped all over it. It also has a weimar eagle on the top and the letters DMW. I still have the bring back papers. It had about 80% bluing and the holster was okay. It had a bit of rust on one side because it sat in the holster in the closet for 20 years. Sold it for 400.00. Did I get robbed??? Its eating at me now!!!
