Weren't the germans the only ones to inspect and "match" every piece to every gun? I have heard stories that our guys (troops) often preferred captured German arms from both world wars, especially Lugers in WWI and P38's and MP38/40s' from the WWII because of the quality. (seen many photos of them carried and used in battle by our troops too) I think that the ability to track or match original guns is one reason they are highly valued, and the quality advantages are another.
