Mauser 42 shooter

Balder and others, I'm sorry the flag behind the gun was offensive. I was using that background in a historical context. In no way was I trying to glorify nazism or it's ideals. I was simply using it the same way one might photograph a Japanese Nambu pistol on a rising sun flag, or a British Webley revolver on a Union Jack. I certainly understand how someone like yourself from Norway would find that upsetting. My Grandfather served proudly in WW II (he's the one in the MP uniform standing behind the wreckage of the ME-109 that I have as my avatar). He saw first hand the devestation and horror brought to Europe by the Third Reich. I agree that the Luger is not a Nazi gun even though some people may feel that way, it's just that this particular one is a Third Reich Luger. Once again I apologize if these pictures sent the wrong message.
