Let's See Your German Pistols

[340PD]

I feel like a range ball in a box of new Titleists.

I'm in the airport seeing this thread for the first time. Love it!

When i get home later this week I'll post pix of the Sauer & Sons pistol my Dad brought home from Germany in 1945.

.... nice ones! Especially the "Reichsrevolver"


Love those Peters-Stahl 1911s.

Thanks, I was wondering if anyone would know what it is.

 

[JDGray]

CZ27, built by the Nazi occupied Czech republic. Complete with swastikas

 

[SharpsDressedMan]

^^^ No offense, but I like to think of those as Czech pistols. Something about invading another country and making them manufacture stuff under slave labor bothers me. Same with the Belgian Hi Powers from that period, and a slew of other Nazi occupation produced guns.

 

[JDGray]

History is what it is...
Does it make you feel better that it was a German officers gun, that my Wifes Grandpa won in a dual? Good ol'e 1911, keeping the peace....

 

[CZguy]

History is what it is...

Couldn't agree more. Rather than making ourselves comfortable with history, let's just accept it for what it is. And hopefully learn from it.

 

[SharpsDressedMan]

OK, is it a Czech gun, or a German gun, all history aside? If that duel had involed the German using a captured 1911 against grandpa, would that have made it a German gun?

 

[JDGray]

If the 1911 had German proof stamps on it....it just may be German
The top of the slide says "Bohmische Waffenfabrik A. G. Prag" pretty much German. If the pistol is offensive to you, I can remove it from the thread.

 

[SharpsDressedMan]

Naw, I like to see pictures, and I like the "little" CZ. If you feel it represents something German, so be it. I just wish the Nazis had stayed home during WWII and just manufactured weapons themselves, and kept their politics out of the rest of Europe.

@56hawk:
better hold on to that vp70, don't se much of them around.
Do you have the stock (or, god forbid, the full auto version?)

[SharpsDressedMan]

If I remember correctly, the stock is what converts any VP70 to full auto, so it may be a restricted part. Also, Mr. Walther spelled his name with a "C", as in Carl.

I wish. It's the VP70Z version that can't accept the stock. Not sure what part is registered on the full auto version, but the selector switch is on the stock.

Re: Nazi pistols and slave labor atrocities.

I can only hope the P-38 my dad brought back was never actually used against allied forces but regardless it is very dear to me. A surviving GI brought it home from hell and now it's mine.

 

[hentown]

The Nazis were the scourge of the Earth; however, I have some faint recollection that America's economy depended on slavery for a couple of years or so.
