Factory Boosting ?

In response to other comments about the Weimar era, I would like to remind people that, after WW1 the German military as well as the people were greatly disillusioned. Their factories were stripped of their machinery and the economy was in ruins. Nobody could figure out why Germany surrendered since all their troups were on foreign soil at the end of the war. Monuments to the German soldiers were not allowed. A plague was killing millions of people in Europe and America. German people were starving to death for a couple of months after the was ended because Britain kept their ports under seige even though the war treaty was signed. Georg Luger invested all his money into failing German companies and he eventually went bankrupt. So he probably wasn't paying a whole lot of attention to what was happening to his famous gun. We have no idea who messed with Tims gun or if it was even messed with during the Weimar era. If the side plate is the only thing messed with on his Luger, then its still pretty nice, but its not a collectors piece.
