In continuing my efforts at upgrading, I traded with a friend to acquire this superb Eagle C Police Sauer 38H bring back. How do I know it's a bring back? A relative of his brought it back; he was happy it would go to me instead of a stranger. He told me:
"The only background I have on it is my Aunt's stepfather acquired it in Belgium and mailed it home. He was in tanks as far as I understand. Last name of Graves. That's really all the info we have on it, he went to Korea in 1950 and was listed as MIA. Any other info about it has pretty much been lost to time, nobody even realized it still existed until we were cleaning out my Aunt's house. Searched everywhere I could think of looking for capture papers, wasn't able to find anything."
The bluing is almost perfect; the light is reflecting and there are a lot of fingerprints on the slide. The trade cost me my '43 bnz SSZZA4 K98k. As the bnz was a restored RC, I felt I could let it go. As I'm selling or trading the 38H I have, I will be getting an 'honest' bolt MM K98k to replace it. I am at an all time low of three K98k's at the moment.
