"By law.... by whose law? If you follow Chiang Kai-shek's law, how can you overthrow him?" -- Chairman Mao

If German had followed everything that Allied wanted, there would be no WWII. Who knows, maybe that's not a bad option.

Hi Larry, Under the terms of the armistice agreement that ended WWI, Germany was severely restricted in the amount of military weapons it could possess. 9mm. was considered a military caliber. Germany chaffed at these restrictions and rearmed in secret, until 1936, when they were strong enough to defy the allies. Regards, Norm

Thanks for the info. I have no intentions of firing or selling it. Per numerous instructions on this board I have cleaned up the Grips, disassembled and cleaned the gun and cleaned the holster. It's really a beautiful piece. Can someone describe how the tool in the holster works (what the heck it's for- loading the magazine I think?) What a masterpiece of engineering.
