I always wanted a good double Rifle and a gent came to my table in Missoula, MT wanting a couple of rifles that I had. We made a
deal and I ended up with one of the most beautiful firearms that I have owned.
A percussion side by side made by M. Brunner of Munchen Germany. Gold inlays, extra fancy wood with carved animal scene.
Has a fancy trigger guard that is carved end of wood with metal inlays. Has a very good octagon bore. My hope is to use it wild

THE HISTORY OF THIS RE-WORKED JAPAN ARISAKA RIFLE
Owner Russell E Kastelle, Breckenridge, MN
This rifle has a unique history. During WWII
some where in the South Pacific the Ameri-
cans were being overrun by the Japanese.
Two Americans were fighting side by side,
one of which was killed by a Japanese sniper
from a bullet in the head from this rifle. The
Japanese advanced so the situation became a
hand to hand fight between the surviving GI
and the Japanese sniper. The surviving GI was
able to wrestle the rifle away from the Japa-
nese, killed him with his own rifle. The sur-
viving GI was a Mr. Gluck who was a machinist by trade and who also kept the rifle. When he returned to the US he became an instructor for
rehabilitation training for other GI’s. Sometime later, he lent the rifle to a friend to use for hunting and the friend had some sort of accident and
broke the stock. My high school classmate, Roger Halvorson, who was injured in a helicopter accident in the service, took retraining under Mr.
Gluck. Roger acquired the rifle
from Mr. Gluck to use for re-
working and for practicing en-
graving on etc. I acquired the rifle
from Roger as a gift between
friends in October 2018.
The rifle is stamped JAP-31CAL
and has a 5 digit SSN and the
Lsawa Jyuko Arsenal marking.DTGCA

Jamestown, NDThird Reich handguns from captured or capitulating countries; 1938 – 1945
By Brian Carlson, Oakdale, MN
Note: this is (generally) the text from my display of the same name, which won Best Handgun Display at the Bismarck fall 2018 show.
When the Nazi war machine made its way across Europe, both through hard-handed politics then
the Blitzkrieg, they were well noted for making use of the war material from the countries they cap-
tured. While they had their standardized German arms, the “master race” wasn’t above using the
weapon systems of the countries they captured – or bought on the foreign market. Not only using
arms which were already made, but also keeping them in production. This was especially true of
handguns, of which the Third Reich always seemed to be in short supply. While it would seem that
this would be a logistical nightmare (it was), the need for more pistols was more pressing.
All captured weapon systems standardized by the Nazis received a new model number, with an
indicator of the originating country. For example, the Steyr-Hahn was renamed the 12(o) – the letter
in parenthesis indicating Osterreich (“Eastern Realm”, or Austria). Note that the letter was never
capitalized – something of a snub to each country from conquering Germany. After manufacture,
each individual weapon that passed inspection and was put into service received an acceptance
stamp – known as a Waffenamt. Each company had a unique Waffenamt code, in addition to the
two or three letter code assigned to each plant that made war material for the Reich.
By and large, captive handguns were issued to secondary and police forces. However, certain pistols which had a cachet before the
war were in demand by specialized forces such as the SS and paratroopers.
A common trait of most captive production handguns was simplification in marking and features, plus a diminishing level of fit and
finish quality “under new management”. This was especially true as the war continued. In some cases, it was deliberate internal
sabotage. However, smuggling weapons out of the factories for use by the resistance and partisans generally kept them at least
functional. More than anything else, build quality diminished as the Third Reich found themselves being over-extended and in
need of weapons – regardless of quality.
Built quality was not an issue with arms sold to the Third Reich by non-combatant countries that still traded with or were sympa-
thetic to them, such as Spain.
Representative examples:
1. Austria Original: Steyr-Hahn model 1912; 9mm Nazi: Pistole, Modell 12(o); (9mm Parabellum)
Originally a commercial handgun, the Steyr-Hahn became Austro-Hungary’s World War I issue pistol. After
the Anschluss (annexation) of March 1938, the Germans re-barreled existing Austrian military pistols from 9mm
Lang (Long) to 9mm Parabellum (Luger) for police use. These pistols were restamped on the side of the slide
with “P.08” (9mm Parabellum, German military standard of 1908).
None were newly manufactured during WWII. While the company that originally made them (Steyr-Daimler-Puch) was still in
business, the Nazi arms ministry deemed their production facilities to be needed more for making larger ordinance and vehicles
rather than handguns. (Display pistol courtesy of Ken Yuly)
2. Czechoslovakia Original: CZ vz. 27; Nazi: Pistole Modell 27(t). (7.65mm) Ceska Zbrojovka was known
between the wars as a maker of quality arms and their homeland’s standardized CZ 27 was no exception.
Adopted by the Czech army six years before the Nazi party came to power, it was readily adopted by the
Germans after Czechoslovakia was split up and annexed in 1938. Under Nazi control, CZ was renamed
Bohmische Waffen Fabric AG (or Bohemian Arms Manufacturing), assigned manufacturer code “fnh”, and
this is how their pistols were marked during the occupation. It tended to see usage with police and second-
ary forces with the Nazis.
3. Poland Original: Pistolet ViS wz. 35 “Radom”; Nazi: Pistole Modell P35(p). (9mm Parabellum) The in-
vasion of Poland on September 1, 1939 touched off World War II. With that, the Nazis took over the Polish
State Arsenal at Radom, assigning it manufacturer code “bnz”. Poland’s standardized handgun was the
Pistolet ViS wz. 35, adopted in 1935. It’s one of the few captured designs that actually saw more use with
the Nazis than the originating country, as it was just starting to get into general distribution after being ini-
tially issued to cavalry and infantry officers. After the invasion, the Radom was favored by Waffen-SS and
paratroop units for its robust construction. It also saw use during the Warsaw ghetto uprising in 1944, from
pistols assembled from components smuggled out of the plant.
4. Belgium Original: Fabrique National P35 “High Power” Nazi: Pistole Modell 640(b). 9mm Parabellum
Fabrique National, in the city of Herstal, had the reputation of being one of the premier arms makes in Eu-
rope – if not the world. It was the European home of John Moses Browning and made several of his designs
even after his death in 1926. One of the last projects he was involved in was a pistol initially intended for a
French military contract, completed after his death by Dieudonne Saiver, which became the famed High
Power. First adopted by the Belgians – not the French – in 1935, it was also the standardized sidearm of
Denmark and Romania when they were taken over by the Nazis. . Produced under new management
(literally, as FN management refused to capitulate) as plant “ch" under Nazi control, the 13-round capacity Pistole 640(b) was fa-
vored by the SS and the Luftwaffe.
