Im working on it Anders, the guy it belonged to died and a friend was clearing out his house, he found a Welrod, 2 other pistols and a silenced rifle, luckily thy all went to a firearms dealer i know but the pistols went to a section 5 dealer who i do not know, the thing that im so sad about was he also had a selection of grenades, which were promptly blown up in the local playing field by the EOD close to the house and no one knows what the grenades were, some heavy and some like made of tin ??????
The owner was in SOE, served in Belgium during the war, his medals were found and some papers about his service all of which went to his daughter, who im hoping to contact for any info.
i lived in that village for 5 years with a girlfriend and might have met him, he never disclosed he was in SOE to any one......... Dave
