    Cleaned a pistol. WWII bring back

    50 years ago my Mother was given a 7.65 COURT 9 COUPS "UNIQUE" for personal protection after someone tried to break in. She was a single mother with 3 kids and had polio so a friend from church gave her this pistol. Once she stuck it out the window when someone tried to enter through said window and told the guy "But being as this is a .32 auto, the most powerful small handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?"!! Well, she said something like that...
    35/40 years ago my uncle Edwin took my Mom out to shoot it. Neither him or me could hit the broadside of a barn. My Mom on the other hand shot 4 or 5 times and hit the empty ammo box every time. Uncle Edwin said you'll hit what you aim at... As far as I know it hasn't been shot any other time or cleaned since 60/61.

    Anyway, it's not a real purty gun but it still shoots and is a pound light after cleaning. Is has the Nazi marking on the barrel and the Waffenamt WaA251 on the right side.

              A lil info I found....
              The Unique was the French made version of the "Ruby" type pistols, which were made in Spain for the French in WWI. They are all basically scaled up copies of the Browning 1906. It was made by the French Firm, Manufacture dArmes de Pyrenees.

                Nazi Germany took over production for a while during the war. After that they came out with an external hammer version. I would really like to find an original holster for this gun...
