·I am still confused as to the identity of my pistol. Please don't think I'm trying to be difficult by resubmitting this information and description of my pistol. After receiving a copy of Sill's Axis Pistols v. 2 and Whittington's German Pistols & Holsters, v. 2</u> I have been unable to find exact photo of my pistol or the holster. This pistol was taken from a German soldier captured by my dad in Spring 1945. He carried the pistol for 50 years as either a conceal weapon or a car gun. Finish is 75-80% because of holster wear. Gun functions perfectly.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PISTOL
Serial 289xxx with three digits on breech block and underside of slide matching last three in serial. High-polish blue finish; manual safety lever; two-line left side logo and righ side marked "Patent"; magazines have a machined base with an intertwined SuS and Cal. 7,65. Stamps on slide, barrel and frame are E/N; no stamps on trigger guard. Except for the lack of E/37 on trigger guard the pistol seems to be a Variation 2(Sill v.2, p. 48)
DESCRIPTION OF THE HOLSTER
The holster appears to be like the one in Whittington's book v.2, p. 169 with following exceptions: 1. The holster button is steel; 2. the color is difficult to determine as being dark chocolate brown or black; 3. the "dbr" stamp is visible but no other stamps are visible.
I have photos but could not get them to load. Could someone give me detailed instructions and I will try again. I tried to load by clicking the "insert" button at the bottom of this form. My photos are in ".jpg" I will try to email direct if you request.
Thanks, Terry
