My grandfather brought this one back from his time in Europe. Same goes for the field glasses. I also inherited two flight suits of German origin, a pilot's headgear (radio intact) and drogue chute as well. Sold the flight suits as they were too difficult to keep in good condition and were not Luftwaffe marked, but kept everything else.
Here's pics of the Luger (zip-tied from where my folks were storing it to keep curious grand kids from doing damage) along with the bring-back papers and the field glasses. Field glasses have etched lenses with ballistic markings for artillery/tank use from what I understand. Similar to the sight picture you see in Russian PSO-series scopes. You'll have to excuse the redacted SNs. I originally took these pictures for a facebook group and that makes me be a bit more cautious.
We take her out and shoot her every so often with light loads. All matching except the aluminum bottomed mag. The pull tab on the leather strip on the holster broke decades ago. Need to find a good holster doc to fix that for us. Still have the leather knob.
She's smooth, but I can't hit crap with her. Too odd to point for me. The ergonomics don't make for good two-handed pistol shooting, it really is an extension of your hand in a single-hand stance though. It's not the gun, it's me.
