S/42 rig Cpl.

Gebirg · 10-17-2015, 12:18 PM

Taken from a German motorcycleordonnans in 1943 - shot dead in Norway by a Norwegian mil.org. They also took his mp40.
I believe the WaA on holster is WaA387? All number match, also the grip plates!

Enjoy!

Great find - story?

Gebirg · 10-17-2015, 01:47 PM

Story is true - told by the former owner, family of the one that shot and took the gun!

Ooooo...I am so jealous!

Luger AND MP40!

What did they do with the motorcycle???

I suspect that the motorcycle was also liberated.
That guy had a REALLY bad day.

To me it's absolutely a stunning rig, sorry for the German soldier.
Thanks for sharing.

Can't improve on that rig - and the pistol has just the right amount of wear - nice!

I guess he should have been in Norway... or gotten a visa first.
