A navy with history! Imperial, Weimar, and Third Reich

Really interesting piece and I appreciate the discussion of the history of the various parts. I enjoy seeing pistols like this. I understand and appreciate the attraction of all-matching but examples like this one vividly demonstrate how the Germans never had enough in terms of military equipment and so kept reworking pistols that could still function.

If one of the reasons we collect is to imagine where, when, how and by whom the item was used, an example like this is about as good as it gets.
