30Mauser Posted July 1, 2013 #1 Posted July 1, 2013 Luger pistol surrendered by GdP Erich Brandenberger to (then) MG Edward H. Brooks, along with the German 19th and 24th Armies, on May 5th, 1945, in Innsbruck, Austria. Currently on display in the collection of the Sullivan Museum and History Center, Norwich University.
30Mauser Posted July 1, 2013 Author #2 Posted July 1, 2013 I bet in that condition the holster is worth more than the pistol! Maybe I should ask them for occasional "family visitation", so I can take her home to spend time with her relatives at my house.
Jack's Son Posted July 1, 2013 #3 Posted July 1, 2013 It is a beauty and a centerpiece for almost any collector!
30Mauser Posted July 2, 2013 Author #4 Posted July 2, 2013 It is a beauty and a centerpiece for almost any collector! Thanks, Jack. Part of me wishes in was in my personal collection to shoot on occasion, but the other part of me is happy it is cared for in the right context of the museum.
Jack's Son Posted July 2, 2013 #5 Posted July 2, 2013 ....... Part of me wishes in was in my personal collection to shoot on occasion.......... I would just stare at it, and maybe hold it once in a while!
30Mauser Posted July 7, 2013 Author #8 Posted July 7, 2013 I can highly recommend the Norwich Miseum to anyone finding themselves in the vicinity of Northfield, VT. Very professionally done! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2
