Wow, thanks so much for the encouraging news. I don't have a lot of experience with rating a gun, but from what I have read, I would say that the bluing is at least 98% and the "straw" is perfect.
I know you are not to shoot these, but I couldn't resist, and was amazed at it's accuracy, and how well it functioned, after sitting for over 50 years unfired. I couldn't believe how high the spent cartridges went (15 to 20 feet). And how comfortable the gun fit in my hand.
I was told that this piece was recovered at the Battle of the Bulge, by my friends grandfather, who was a tank commander, and that he has a lot of maps etc. from Patton. I will ask him to look for the bring back chit. I am going to try to buy a couple of maps from him too.

This forum is great, and I will keep trying with the pictures.

Thanks again,
