Patrick,

Not to speak for Bill, but I think he was just a little excited when he gave the lineage of the Persian. It was the property of the Shah of Iran who presented it to an American general, whose family later gave it to George.

The pistol is a contract piece purchased by Persia in 1936 and 1942. Part of the contract was for standard 4" pistols and part were LP08's. All the markings are in Farsi. The pistols are well documented, but as with any highly collectible piece it should be fully authenticated.
