I think a lot of people have trouble understanding the existence of a pistol from an arsenal that had no manufacturing facilities for that particular pistol. If the pistols were indeed reworks, the simple Spandau C/K proof would have been sufficient for military purposes. To create a die to mark the toggle, and the associated extra work to apply the marking would have been a waste of time when Germany was trying to speed up production.

I think even Jan Still indicates that even if the Spandau is legit, the survival rate for such a low production pistol is amazingly high.
