There really were some HK 1945 dates!
In early 1946, I was a 17 years old living in Pocatello Id. And, even then, I was an absolute gun nut!
I bought, from a local second hand store, a Luger....
I knew it was Navy as it had an Anchor on the toggle. I also knew it had been captured in 1945 as some idiot had 'hand stamped' 1945 over the chamber.
I soon traded it for a 30-30 Winchester as I could not obtain any ammo for a 9mm. [.30 Mauser and Luger was available]
It took me many years to find out what I had owned.
