Default Post War HK #116

I finally found some time to post a few photo's of my Post War HK that I aquired a couple of years ago.
As you can see in some of the photo's this pistol had attained stage 1 and stage 2 proofing. It looks all Krieghoff to me, ie flat taper of front grip strap, hardened frame ramps, flame hardened thumbprint, HK trigger, HK countersunk toggle knobs.
If it had been final proofed / serial numbered and dated would it have become a 1945 dated HK.
Or could the proofing have been done months / years prior to 1945 and the factory while attending to other business, were not paying much attention to lugers?
If there were pistols such as this in the factory at the end of the war why the controversy about 1945's?? I'm just asking as I don't know the answer.
I find this a very interesting pistol.
Comments welcome, with high hopes that John D will weigh in.
Thank you, Jesse

I should also add it has the krieghoff small 3 digit inspection mark "691" in the locking bolt well.
