These were done after WW2, I have heard, some by GI's, some by Germans that worked for the US Military after the war, and then Norway had lugers and did this. I am sure other countries also did this modification.
From what you see on e-bay, this drives the collectability way down, most I have seen on e-bay sold for $45-$65.
