Two pistols used in WWII

For those interested here are some pics of two pistols used in WWII. The one on the left is a CZ 27 with original holster in .32 calibur. It has all the nazi markings one would look for. I don't know the history of this one. The one on the left is an FN Browning with original holster in 9 m/m (.380 ACP) calibur. This one was taken from the germans and then carried by a US soldier until the end of his service in the war. I will soon have a pic of the soldier wearing this pistol and holster taken during WWII.
My thoughts and respect go out to the soldiers that carried these firearms. I hope you enjoy!!

The gene pool needs chlorine.
thats a damn poor couple of pistols to bet your life on. Good souvineers but thats it. As Infantry in ww2 we were taught that being captured with a enemy weapon did not make for a long or happy life.
Just wondering...did the germans consider taking of weapons off of opponents to be same as looting? I know that during Battle of the Bulge, Germans found with any piece of American equipment, shoes, overcoats etc. were being shot as spies.
