Century's "mint" P38's update

Mark,

mac is correct that the importer added the Eagle/Swatika to the post war P.38s. This has been proven by a member of NAPCA who has talked with the folks that did the stamps. The stamps were put on the post war pistols as a joke! In the years since they were stamped, the pistols have now caused everyone to wonder if they have a real "Prize" and/or rare pistol. They were originally sold as a joke and priced as a shooter. This is what happens years after a mark has been put on a pistol and they come to light again.
