There is a very simple es-plane-acion Lucy, why there are 2 test AE's with the same serial#. You see, Pfc. Wally lost his on the first day it was issued to him. Rather than be discharged, he snuck into the armory late at night and got into the spare parts, reassembled and renumbered his gun to match the one he'd lost. Then, to explain why it is mismatched, he was very, very sloppy and kept losing pieces during cleaning. When his buddies weren't looking, he'd steal pieces from their pistols.

Later, his son became a famous German SS officer and he handed it over to a Green Beret in DaNang in 1945 after signing the surrender of his unit on the deck of the USS Arizona.

You see! Everything can always be easily explained by Teenagers out past curfew and dedicated students.

This story and that pistol will get you a cup of coffee at the next gun show, maybe even a donut.
