American Rifleman's Facebook page re-shared this 2016 article yesterday, which marked the anniversary of the end of the Second Boer War:

Pretty encompassing. I hadn't known that Jan Smuts, who later became prime minister of South Africa during WW2, carried a C96. So, both Churchill and Smuts were C96 fans and also WW2 leaders.
 
Been on my list since "Star Wars," 40+ years.....but I don't think it's gonna happen.

More powerful load than I thought...PPU FMJ is 85/1510/430
