Mr Honey Bee
Thanks for the fascinating documents.

I grew up in Ventura County CA and we had a POW camp during the war. The German POWs where allowed to volunteer to pick lemons and oranges.AFAIK it was not mandatory.According to letters I have read ,most enjoyed their stay here and liked the weather. After the war the camp was dismantled. One time, I looked at one of the guard towers that had been moved to the back yard of a house for the kids to play on.

Here is some info on your 1934 Beretta 380/9mm corto pistol.
