Tom, (und Ed)
Could a pistol found in this pre-war refinished condition be the result of a single repair action rather than a rework program.
Hypothetically... A gun taken to sea is neglected by it's owner for an unforgivable amount of time, or perhaps a part failure of major proportions. The seaman is disciplined for neglect (if applicable) and the sidearm is returned to the armorer for repair/replacement. Beyond his ability or tools, he writes a trouble ticket and forwards the weapon to the Navy Depot who ships it to DWM for rebuild and return... In the process it is refinished "as new"
Was sagen sie mein Herr? Ist diese Geschichte nicht plausibel?
