-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When my father passed away in September I came into this handgun that he's had since the 50's. My brother and I believe it was given to him by a fella that immigrated from Germany to the states in the mid 40's. I've done a little research on it and found only information about 'blued' models. This one is bright, nickle or chrome I reckon, has all the stamps and a 6 digit serial number and holster. I appears to be factory bright....... I have zero interst in selling it, but am curious whether it could be a 'special' piece that few were issued. Any info would be appreciated. on top of slide it reads: Fnh Pistole Modell 27 Kal 7.65 Serial Numbers DiagramBOHMISCHE WAFFENFABRIK A.G.

The Germans used similar holsters for the P37 and the Browning M1922:
This P37 pistol was marketed as a presentation piece with the legend: 'Brig. General Charles Baron US Army 0363316'. Unfortunately this is false. Charles Baron was a Brig. General of the Illinois National Gard, not the US Army. He was an organized crime figure in Chicago. For more info see Charles Baron
