Ted,

It is a very important piece of history and the provenance is impeccable; I am going to do an article about von Rib, this gun and its "other" owners for publication if I can ever find the time. I have managed to find a pic of vonRib in uniform as Foreign Minister on the Western front during the invasion of France. Unlike most senior officers who wore PPKs, in this pic, he is wearing a Luger. I have no doubt, but also no proof, it is this one.
