Anyone else have one of these to go with your Luger?

Looks like a beautiful Mauser with bakelite grips and fxo magazines, and capture paper. Search on capture papers to find threads on capture papers.

Have capture papers on two Lugers....

Where did he get this thing? Not from a captured German, correct?

He pulled it off of a captured German Officer in Italy.

Sorry about the pictures, fixed that.

If the Germans had had more enlisted riflemen and fewer officers they might have had a chance of winning the war.
