There is a German saying, "Big Man, Small Gun". And if you examine the many photographs of the German general staff and politicos, you will note the almost exclusive use of "mouse" guns. A notable exception was von Ribbentrop, who was frequently photographed wearing a P-08. His piece resides today in my small collection of provenanced guns and may be seen in the front matter of Mr. Jan Still's most excellent Weimar Lugers.
