They are a fantasy item, created by a European gun smith with a sense of humor, who saw it as a good way to add some mystique to some, otherwise ordinary, and at the time, cheap guns for export to the USA.

Opinions vary, of course, and everyone is entitled to his own. This story was researched by a couple of German journalists, who managed to trace and speak to the man who marked them many years ago while he was working as a gun smith's assistant. Unfortunately for us, the man's credentials were not reveiled and we only have his anonymous testimonial.
