There's a couple of guns here that don't belong to me, but I've grown rather fond of.

One of them is Willard's Mauser-made Luger.

That gun bears the marks of East German police from the same district as Checkpoint Charlie.

Unlike Willard, I passed through Checkpoint Charlie before The Wall came down.

It captures my nostalgia.

I was likely in this pistol's presence in 1989 when I noticed the holsters had to be Luger holsters and even nudged my buddy, Fred about it.

The nostalgia is enhanced by Fred getting murdered before I could really reconnect with him post-service.

It's not my pistol.  It's Willard's.  But I like hanging on to it for him because I miss my other friend.

Emotions and shit, I know.
