Hi all,

this Schwester was born like it seems as "volksdeutsch" (german Name and born in Russia) and worked/lived in occupied Poland. Wartbrücken was ealier in the polish county of Kolo and was by occupation integrated in the new "Reichsgau Posen", later "Wartheland"

I´d say, she really "thought" she needed the gun And I´d say she got the permission because she had to protect herself against polish "agressors".

Sad history,but a really very nice a super-rare piece!
