Hi Marvin,


Sounds like a perfectly reasonable line of speculation to me! Here's yet another...


The pistol is stolen from a Weimar arsenal (or a Weimar officer goes over to some other faction and takes his pistol with him). For some reason it requires a major repair shortly after that, and is submitted via the back door to the proof house, which quickly proofs it and hands it back.


One of the nice things about pieces like this is they present the opportunity to almost free associate ideas on their history and spin some interesting yarns. I freely confess I have no solid idea of how this pistol came to be, but I'd bet dollars to doughnuts it has a rich and complex history. And probably a history more mixed and bizarre than any we could conjure up from the deaths of out collective imaginations


Best regards,


Kyrie
