Denial is one ways that Europeans' dealt with the aftermath of WW-2. And, that is what this pistol says to me. It's like never saying a person's name or what we call "Ghosting" today. But, they kept the pistol, just the same - it had value.
I gotta agree with Mac on this one - distancing him/herself from Nazi Association.
