I work with a fellow whose mother's father was given this gun by his neighbor. The mother remembers only that the neighbor had a heavy accent. She thinks it may have been a German accent. But this was some time ago and she was a young girl. When I told my friend that the gun was a "Navy" version, he said his mother said that makes sense. Otto (the neighbor's name) was in the Navy. Sadly Otto has passed, so all we have are the memories, now faded, of my friend's mother of when the gun was given to her father.

My feeling is that Otto was in the German navy and it was his issued gun. I like the story of this gun.

Thanks for posting the pics to the Forum! I'm sure Ed would be pleased!

You can post up to 1100 x1100 pixel .JPG's, IIRC...

I like that holster. Does anyone know who made it, or whether it was an 'issue' holster by some agency???
