Doug..I am puzzled by your statement...it would have been a historical impossibility for a GI to have obtained this pistol in Munich in December of 1944.....
How so? The holster came with a commercial PO8 with serial # that indicates the year of manufacture was 1910-1913. Holster is 1911. This pistol and holster were leftover from the Great War in Germany and ended up in the hands of a Burgomeister in 1944 and subsequently surrendered as war booty to the GI. I can't see the impossibility of this sequence of events. What am I missing? Was it that Munich was not captured in 1944 or? Sounds like a simple confusion of dates...I spent 2 years in Viet Nam and I honestly could not come up with any exact dates for the life of me other than general dates of enlistment and discharge.
