John-

Very well done. If you have the DVD of, "The Guns of Navarone", look for the M-34 (?) .32 carried by the German officer whose troops captured the British sabotage team.
(Of course, they escaped.) It's the only film appearance that I recall for these pistols.

I'm quite sure that I was the only kid in my high school class to spot that little Mauser for what it was when the movie first appeared.

Why was the 1930's price so low? Wasn't the Colt .32 quite a bit more expensive? I think a new Govt. Model .45 sold for $36.75 then, if I recall an old catalog correctly. Don't know their price for the .32.

Do you have a photo of the other side of the gun?
