True, but according to what I found, some dated pistols were modified to remove the date in the process of manufacturing the export pistols. After seeing my own pictures it certainly looks like nothing was ever there. I guess I need new glasses or something - I never saw the 'GERMANY' stamp on the frame until I looked at the blow-up. Pictures like this on a large LCD monitor are great for old eyes - very revealing. I used the flash on purpose to cut through the finish and expose any irregularity. An LED flashlight does the same thing - very handy in the gun safe or at the gun show.
