1911 heaven. Nice collection. The B appears to be the same as mine. Look at the barrel and see if it's smooth, with the bluing gone at the end of the barrel. If it is, and it's a .32, it was probably an SS boot gun. They're not worth a whole lot because so many were made, but the history behind them is something else.
At the end of the war, SS guys were dug out, marched into the nearest field, and shot with their own boot gun. My late uncle watched this action from a train car, then ran out and snatched the gun after the army troops left it by the dead guy. Maybe a little morbid, but history nonetheless.
