Yes. It happened to me with a near mint AC41 P-38 pistol. The finish was clearly original. The markings were all very sharp and crisp and the grips had a beautiful wine red color to them. I was very surprised to find an import mark on the bottom flat of the slide when I was cleaning it one day. But considering that someone took a near-mint pistol and simply exported it without altering it in any way, the import stamp made little difference to me.
