Nice.

Interesting that it’s a Walther PPK, the type of gun that later served as James Bond’s signature firearm in most of the movies.

Goering liked a lot of ‘bling’. Very nice handgun.

There’s a scene in the movie Across the Pacific in which Sydney Greenstreet shows his pistol (I think it’s a 38-caliber gun) to Humphrey Bogart, who puts his Colt 45 pistol alongside Greenstreet’s and comments, “Mine’s bigger than yours.”
