This pistol was given to me by a little old lady who said her husband took it from a German pilot, he shot down, in North Africa in WWII. I saw a picture of him in his RAF uniform, so the story does possibly have some truth to it.
As you can see from the photos, it's in pretty bad shape externally,
being very badly pitted almost everywhere. However the bore is in very good shape & it still functions & shoots well. Is it worth refinishing or should it be left as is?
Serial No; 5529 a
No unit markings
Grips & grip screws are new. Originals were in real bad shape.
Magazine marked: FXO - E37 - P08 - No. on base 5352
