You can accept anything you want or don't want. Just tell me how I pissed you off ?

Cheers and have a nice day.

the question is ---what was the last act of war the pistol did..?

on the battlefield, on some ranking officer hiding in an abandoned house waiting to be overrun by our troops......

whatever it was, it was a defining moment for the future....

The last act was typically a long line of surrendering German troops, handing over their weapons to be checked to be unloaded and thrown in a heap, to be appropriated by a GI, and possibly brought back, or sold as surplus after the war. Not as interesting as we might hope.

Nice photo, Eric. Exactly what I was talking about. Very few Lugers were "taken off a dead German officer". Possibly none, as officers generally didn't carry such heavy sidearms. Usually 32's of some type. The general rule, the higher the rank, the smaller the pistol.
