>>Very nice gun, how is the bore?

It looks pretty nice to me... a small amount of oxidation can be seen in the rifling If you tell me what to look for, I can tell you better!

>>I collect stories like this, if you'd like to share it further and let me get any more of the story??

I'll see what I can do about getting more story... unfortuantly most of the people in the know died long ago.

>>>It is possible to have a picture of the holster. It seems not the standard one

I can take more images from more angles. Anything specific you want me to look for?

>>Do you know if it has been kept in its holster during the ensuing years?

Sadly, i know it has been kept in its holster, in a basement, for at least a decade, if not 30 years.

Would it make any sense to think it might have been Nickled by whomever used it in Germany between the fall of the Weimar republic and my uncle's aquisition in late 44 / early 45?

Also, if anyone knows what the AW 36 Stamp stands for, I'd love to know!

Thanks so much for your replies
