Default Second Crown Jewel

This one is *almost* as pretty as my other presentation HK.

It was a gift to Gauleiter Joseph "Sepp" Bruckel who was in charge of Gau Westmark-From Koln southward through Wurtenberg and the Pfalz to Kaiserslautern.

The Gauleiter, in summer 1944, was over heard making defeatest comments and was reported to the black Mercedes boys (Gestapo).

Sepp came down with a sudden case of natural causes and was given a state funeral.

This gun and most of his other personal effects were stashed by his driver and remained "in the woodwork" for many years.
