It's a weird little gun. I'm think my grandpa brought it back from Europe after WWII.

Never heard of the company

That looks like a pipebomb with a handle.

I don't know why that page has "FG 42" at the the top, because that's a German machine gun. If you read further it shows your handgun as a JP Sauer Model 1913...but I doubt you've never heard of them before. JP Sauer and Sohn collaborated with Swiss Arms AG to create some very famous weapons...Sig SAUER P226, P220, etc.

Honestly I had no idea so I checked Gunbroker. They only have one for sale with a "buy it now" price of $419...but it looks to be in much better condition.

Yea it's a shame but the one we have seems in rough shape.

I'm actually a little scared to shoot it. I do trust German engineering but the gun is old and has not been well taken care of.

I am not sure about that particular pistol but I have a J. P. Sauer und Sohn GmbH model 202 takedown rifle and it is probably the best made firearm that I own. I would assume anything from this maker is top notch. I think they are the oldest firearm manufacturer in Germany. Good find.
