I've posted this pistol before, but today..........
Several years ago, my father-in-law gave me a pistol he'd acquired from a relative. My father-in-law was a WWII vet who passed away last year. The pistol as it turned out was a WWII -era Belgian Hi-Power. Unfortunately, it had been chromed at some point. I have had it stripped and reworked(except the gunsmith also blued the barrel instead of leaving it in the white...another project for me) since the value was killed when it was chromed.
Today, though, my wife was working on cleaning out the stable of our property - bought from my inlaws right before I retired from the Army. Her dad kept all kinds of stuff there and she found a manila envelope with papers. As I looked at them tonight when I got home, two of them jumped right out at me - capture certificates. And, when I saw the description...bingo. They are for the Hi Power. Score!!
