On May 25, 1942, Zuo Quan, deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army, was shot dead when covering the headquarters and civilians to relocate. The revolverhe left was submitted to Zhu De, who then gave it to be kept by the head of operations Wang Zhengzhu.
Wang Zhengzhu donated the revolver to the navy committee preparing for the celebration on the 10th anniversary of the founding of the PRC in 1959, and the navy committee later transferred it to the Military Museum.
