Nah.........your daddy told you a minor FIB! No big deal...we dads often do! You would not expect him to say he got it from a guy who sold it to him?....no 'pizzazz to that story. There is no way it was original...and, also, no way a German would have plated it..


Thousands were plated by the GI's after the end of the war. It cost a pack of cigarettes at that time!


The Frankfurt is likely 'ERFURT"..? if so, it is a WW-1 gun.
