January 21, 20197 yr #2 Very interesting pistol and history. What is the medallion on the grips? Can you show the other side? Why is it shown with the slide locked to the rear? Is there a back story on the souvenir? Thanks for posting such a unique item! BKW
January 21, 20197 yr Author #4 B.K., Other side. The thing on the grip is the initials of the owner and the Kings crown of the Savoia family showing that he is part of the Royal Family. I did the pic to show more of the finish. I got it from a Union of South Africa W.W.2 vet. Tony,Thanks. Rich A. in Pa.
