Hermann Göring Peak Cap and Hand Gun

I'd like to know more on the engraved PPK in the first photo. (The one below and to the left of so called Goring Gun) seems to have Ivory handle grips and nice etch.

Not that one Jon, the one with White (Ivory?) grips.
Never mind, these pix were from years ago.

Aha, that's the one attributed to Hitler i believe.

Here's a short "article" on it. http://rolfing.tiu.edu/thinc/hitlers...-dr-woodbridge

The finish/condition of that Walther is far worse than my carry piece that gets the crap beat out of it. Are we to believe Fatty used his Walther so often during all those fire fights he was in that he wore the finish down to the bone or is Walther known for crappy AU plating? Or, perhaps, the guy who captured/liberated it stored the open box on his widow sill in the Louisiana bayou?

Looks like the Roger Steel Hollywood Military Hobbies Caps along with the Goering M43 Caps that he and others sold in the '60's. Have even seen them sold as vet bring back for big money. (A long funny story).
