Swiss alphabet commercial

If my understanding is correct, the "GERMANY" stamp, whether on a firearm or a dinner plate, signifies that the item was being exported from Germany and bound for the United States or some other country. That being the case, it seems resonable to me to assume that this Luger was manufactured in Germany and had originally been destined for Switzerland. For reasons unknown and will probably never be known, it was diverted to the United States. My guess is that the order for the Stoeger Lugers was oversold, and this was an easy subsitute. This is only a guess, but as good as any.
