Gen JC Breckenridge's Luger

I also acquired another pistol from the same person. Although not a Luger, it has an amazing story associated with it as well. It's a Japanese Nambu Type 14 that was the personal side-arm of the Chief of Police of Nagasaki during WWII. The owner was the retired Marine Col that the Chief of Police surrendered his weapon to 1 week after the atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. He kept the gun as a spoil of war until just before his death in 2004. I'm happy to post a couple pictures of the Nambu and holster as well if anyone is interested.
