And oh - as reference - I use one of my Post War "Presentation" HKs - which is still IN THE WHITE (except the barrel??!!!
)and was engraved/presented to a Member of the 11th Armored - who returned with a couple of Lugers. I was honored to be the recipient of his sideframe engraved HK, and it remains in my collection.
That HK is a wonderful model for assessing the polishing and milling work on late HK produced frames and recievers (and other parts)... I'd show pics - but it's at home and I'm at work
