The IIIc was not marketed in the US prior to WWII: it was introduced in 1940 and was sold throughout the Third Reich, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, and Sweden, but not in the US or UK. So your father either acquired this overseas during the War or it was a IIIa or the like. Marc msmall@aya.yale.edu Cha robh b?s fir gun ghr?s fir!
