Going thru my fathers things and I came across this handgun. The story goes, as I recall him telling me, is that he took this gun off a dead German soldier.
I have included photos of all the markings. I know some of you are very knowledgeable about this gun so I would be eager to learn what you have to say. It is in the original holster and the magazine has the original rounds in it when removed from the soldier. Hasn't been fired since WWII. My question is, if I buy new ammo and shoot the gun, does it detract from the value, whatever that may be?
I have several photos but this forum only allows 3 uploads. Perhaps I can send more in a comment, we shall see. I will send the markings.
