Until around 1969, surplus guns could be imported with ease and they were marked according to the US import laws, with the country of origin (which sometimes was played with a bit, like the 'made in Switzerland A&F lugers'.
After 1969, there was a ban on the import of surplus weapons, but I believe that those that qualified as a C&R did not have to be stamped with the country of origin. Can someone confirm this?
