I hate to let this one go, but part of collecting is making the decision to focus your collection in a narrower scope. I hate to do it, but someone else who has been wanting the real deal (yes, Dragonman reference) can now have an awesome original example and enjoy it as much as I have.
These were made in Milwaukee before and during WW2 under contract from the Dutch government. Many were sent to Europe and captured by the Germans, while most went to the East Indies. This one seems to have never been issued, and I've literally never seen one this nice.
I've enjoyed having this bad-boy in my collection, but I can't justify keeping it.
The pictures tell the rest. From my personal collection.
