RE: old war pistol
From what I was told that is the way he recieved in issued to him. He mailed it back home to his wife a few weeks before he was to come home and never really shot it since then hence having the same issued ammo. It really just went into a drawer and stayed there for a few decades until he gave it to my friend. It has some rust spots on the surface and is in real need of an overhall.The family isn't really big on having super nice looking guns, I have seen what they hunt with and its all practical.
