FN 1922 Help

NoncomRetired · 12-09-2012, 09:11 PM

My 1922 came with it's original holster but not an original for that pistol. The Luftwaffe used various pistols but the two most associated with the Luftwaffe was the Model 1922 Browning and the Hungarian Femaru. It's holster was the same design...almost. My Mod 1922 came in a Femaru German Luftwaffe holster and inside the name Uffz.Rothe and although it can not be confirmed, UffZ Rothe was a radio/gunner in a JU-87 stuka and was one of the only 15 radio/gunners who recieved the KC. I have three eagle proof marks on the slide, two with waffenamt 140 and two on the frame, one with waffenamt 140. Wish I could verify this piece as being Rothe's. The old guy I got this from won it in a crap game coming back on a liberty ship from his own words. The holster is marked JSD 1942
