My neighbor was an army medic who served in Europe during WW2, and stayed in Germany for a few years afterward. One day about six years ago, he showed me a 45 cal. Luger he picked up there. Apparently, it was in bad condition when he found it, and he took it to a German gunsmith. The gunsmith was astonished and used a German word meaning masterpiece to describe the gun. My neighbor repeated the word, but I can’t remember it. Anyway, the gunsmith was so in awe, he restored the pistol beautifully for no charge.

My neighbor’s wife was a war bride and it was probably ten years before she would say anything about Hitler. When she did, her assessment was that he was okay, except at the end when he went a little crazy.

“a little crazy” ?????!

Ok, Yeah, Right, Got it.

WTF ? H€LL NO I DON’T GOT IT !!!

How’s about We make that BAT$#!T CRAZY? The entire time it was alive.

That’s awesome on the Pistol.

I knew a guy back in school that had Grampa’s 9mm Luger that he used in the War. Grampa’s portrait hung in their living room. The SOB was freaking SS Officer. I often wondered how many Innocent People the POS Murdered with that Pistol.

The Pistol was in perfect condition, not a scratch on it and worked perfectly. I didn’t like the feel of it in My hand- just felt wrong. Of course it might have been the Karma in it.

No way I would pay that amount of money for that Pistol The Russian makes. Not when I could buy 8-10 other Firearms with the money.
