Default Interesting Story?

A guy on another site posted the following. I'm 99.9% sure I already know the answer to my own question, but...is there any shred of possibility to this story?

"My dad got it out of an arms factory in Stutgard Germany when his company comendeered the factory at the end of the war. He got 25 new lugers in a crate and brought them back to the states after the war. He gave 24 of the guns away to his friends and kept one for himself.While in the factory he had a German prisoner who was one of the gunsmiths in the plant work on the gun. He had the prisoner modify the gun to reduce the trigger pull. The normal trigger pull is suppose to be 5 to 7 lbs and the gunsmith reduced it to 2.5 lbs. As a result of the modifications the gunsmith used a couple of parts from another gun. The trigger and trigger plate is marked with a 73 while the rest of the gun is 16.
there is more to the story but that's pretty much the history of the gun."
