SS-marking on luger

Deiter, the reason for boosting a pitted and well worn pistol is simple, without the counterfeit mark it has almost no value, a parts piece. With the mark it now is worth upwards of $500. And the natural inclination is to ask, why would anyone fake such a rough piece. When the pistol in question was purchased 40 years ago (1960s) it would have been a $25 or less gun without the runes.
