I have seen pictures of a tool kit, it appeared to have just about everything except for a frame and barrel! Seriously it contained a large amount of parts, and I imagine it is like e-bay, no one wants to say in an e-bay ad; oh I found this old Luger Holster at a yard sale for $2.00, how would you like to buy it for $150! No, they say, bought from the Vet or bought at an estate sale / auction... So, I bet that many parts are from parted out guns, from the thousands of parts left over and hauled away after each war and from repro parts. Plus the armorer kits that would have been in many hundreds of units.
