Thank you, Mike I'm fan of 45ACP too.
I have 3 1911's including an Ithica WW II 
 issued to William Roberts B-26 pilot in 1945.
 

I also happen to have several vintage Military 9mm's in my modest stewardship.
* Erfurt (1917)   Luger P08
* Walther P38 1944 German Military issue
   both are WW II bring backs
* And an MAB PA 15 circa 1964 French Military Contract trials
   purchased in the USA Hockenheim PX in 1965 (no import marks)

the only " Modern" 9mm I have is the EMP

I seem to be in some sort of In B Twix, nothing lately to feed the fervor.
  This thread thrives on our acquisition-isms.

I mentioned in another thread that " I get almost as giddy on "new gun day" for someone else's harvest as I do for my own (almost)

My late friend  (miss you John) and I would meet every Saturday, we stop in at our Friends LGS and then have lunch somewhere.
Sometimes we just shoot the S*it and window shopped,
but often he or I would find something to take home.
I was just as tickled when he found a gem. Next time maybe, it was me and so it went...

Many times, John and I traded between ourselves.

My very last trade with John, just a few days before his passing.
My MAB PA 15 French NATO trials 9MM.
John acquired it in Hockenheim at the US Military PX in northwest Baden-Württemberg, Germany in 1969 or 70. 

A small number of these were imported later in the 80's by Howco Distributing Co and would be import stamped this one is not and is in the military configuration.

It is unique pistol and quite special to me, I thought you might enjoy a revisit.
