Russian Luger?????

Isn't it odd that of the thousands of Soviet captured Lugers that have shown up dip blued, electro penciled, etc that NONE to my knowledge had the CCCP add-on?

I suspect that the reason is that the pistols with CCCP markings were done either to enhance resale value or as the result of some overzealous commissar somewhere. In either case, it just screws up what might have been a nice pistol.

Interesting but not a production item or authorized add-on, IMHO.
