A few small questions on Sturmgewehr

Yeah.. the domain lacks research on numerous details. All publications are mainly focusing on history context, not on individual samples. Read an machine pistol ad on a dealer's site, claimed being original based on it came from "a physician's collection", implies it must be original and correct because of that logic, isn't that ridiculous.. it's obviously a reworked piece, but that did not prevent it from selling $27500. I also saw guns with barrel s/n modified, previously welded gun later reactivated, parts replaced etc. But those are samples with obvious problems, there must be a lot of details that needs viewing tons of samples to tell, but not revealed yet. Takes time though.
