That's pretty neat. What's with the number on the grip? Was it brought back by a GI?

They weren't standard issue by any means but plenty of German soldiers, officers and civilians had them during the war.

The grip number is the caliber. .25 ACP = 6.35mm Auto in Yuroland.

I'm not even sure where it came from, I'm going to have to ask for the backstory when he gets home.

And that's pretty fucking awesome

Nice pistol. Theres 3 variants of the model 8. You can tell usually by the serial number. Is their any special marking?

Op here, a little update. The gun belonged to my girlfriend's mother's grandfather, who was from Mexico. No telling where it could have come from, I'd like to believe there was a lot of cool shit floating around Mexico at that time in regards to firearms

Not that I can tell, then again, I don't really know what I would be looking for. The slide is a little rusted but other than that it appears to be in pretty good shape. Both medallions are still intact on the grips
