Hello Again,
There were a big bunch of WWI pistols that were marked "Germany" that nearly no one has any difficulty accepting. They were, in general, not messed with either.
The 60's and 70's type imports were of several categories, those that were plundered and those that were "clean". My first Luger was one of the "messed" with bunch. A real abortion, but excuse the advertisement, Thor turned this mess into an excellent shooter. I am proud to say it gets many WOW's at the range and is extremely accurate.
So again I say, the import mark is in the eye of the beholder!! Some are good, some acceptable and some not so good. Only the future will be able to decide the values!!!
Sorry, but again
