The crest removal theory has bothered me for some time, this is especially true when you consider that M912â??s (RP Anchor) (Republic of Portugal) lugers have been seen with the crest removed, this just doesnâ??t make since. Why would the crest be removed from the republics guns?
There could be some other explanation other than individuals defacing military owned weapons. These could range from sales of arms from surplus to hidden clandestine operations. The other thing I noticed is the method of removal on most seems very well done, so I suspect an armory or a well equipped field office not individuals haphazardly removing metal from their guns using various methods
Ron may be right about the finish in that it is pristineâ??if so that gun saw very little service, and that worries me as does the near perfect grips?
It may be worth your time to have one of the forum members look at your gun before putting too many rounds through it.
