The gun was a presento to a Dr. Bohle, the Gauleiter des Alles Auslandern. He was slated to be gauleiter of England. After Goering was unable to defeat the RAF, Operation Sea Lion was cancelled and he fell into obscurity. He was tried after the war for "Aiding and abetting", served six months and was released.


The gun is plated with an alloy I have yet to identify conclusively and the grips are elephant tusk ivory. Interestingly, the HK side frame logo is finely engraved instead of the normal marking.
