Herb, Interesting point but where does this lead us to in terms of the stamp found on this pistol?

Are you saying because of this Hakenkreuz made into a(sort of) sonnenrad that this legitimizes this stamp?

Personally, I don't think it is a sonnenrad at all but a crappy job of making the swastica.

The cross lines were not made exactly on center and were too far to the edge of the teardrop circle and consequently our hobbyist could do nothing but curve the ends. The ends of this swastica are also out of proportion to the body, way too small to accurately be a sonnenrad.

If we couple the early sonnenrad with the lateness of the stick wing Eagle we end up with quite the Frankenstein emblem.

Let me know your thoughts...Jerry Burney
