Question about parts

[MG]

Hello all,

I had read somewere that someone had found a LOT
of batched number parts that looked like the came
from war production plants during WW2. They said that the parts were in asia and looked like origials with matching numbers. It was thought that the parts may have been massed produced in Germany with the numbers ALREADY ON THEM. And that maybe there were bins in the plants that had all #42,#34,#44 etc.on any parts to go into a gun.
I could see how this could speed up production, but I have a question: If said parts ARE REAL and
said parts were made at the SAME TIME that the guns were made. If you should put them into a gun to make all the parts match( same era,style,
same factroy,etc.)what would happen the the collectablty of said gun? My point is If they are real factory parts, would this be like restoring a car? How would you know? You could not tell replacement parts except by wear(age would be same, so color should be too).

Just thought I would ask as there is alot of faking going on ( I just saw a russian rework on
Gunbroker that they want $1200 for the MINT gun that has been in their home for years)


Thanks all and have a Great Labor day and pray for
the families of 9/11.
