Thank you both! I appreciate any information you have. Of course I love the gun but I'm a bit biased. My Grandpa passed before I was old enough to ask much about it. I remember that he said when they liberated the towns, the locals were required to surrender all weapons. He said that all of the officers were allowed to take one piece. He was only a Sergeant but I guess that qualified. He also had a Luger P08 and various Nazi paraphernalia but I only kept this gun. I was young when he passed and didn't appreciate the history of that stuff, only the beauty of the drilling gun.
