I concur with Alanint. Almost 55 years in the study of firearms history, and specifically WW2 weapons, and never heard any such story, or seen any documentation to that effect.

What your friend has is a Ruby ripoff Colt marked pistol and the results of a bogus US Property stamp. A great story, but that is all it is... a story, to sell the pistol at a higher price.
