Is the Waffenampt stamped in the glass like the originals?
Repairs but no upgrades
I'd like to see that too, but I have nothing to submit
Neither does anybody else.

Can't be that many out there seeing as how they lost the war and all....
Yeah but if they didn't mark most of them, destroyed a good number & the rest are fakes, it doesn't leave much for us to look at.

I'd be surprised if they destroyed serviceable rifles. The German Army had a penchant for making do with next to nothing, and making do when there was no man power, weaponry or ammo to do it.
Case in point, in Normandy they deployed captured French tanks with grafted on German 105mm guns as tank destroyers.

True but what they lacked most was manpower & who wants to devote said manpower to watching a pile of rifles?
They began faking and reproducing things the second Germany capitulated for the occupying forces to take home as trophies. A fake from June 1945 is still a fake regardless of age. Prime example is SS helmet covers that were cut from genuine zeltbahns right after the war. Genuine material and period stitching but a repro no matter which way you look at it.
I can see that happening but I can't see occupied Germans humping svt40. If that happened it happen post 91. I can see the Ukranians humping anything for cash but to stamp & reblue seems extreme.

Walt Disney was faking German WW1 Camo Helmets in WW1 behind the enemy lines.
The German Snipers Helmets were Painted in Camo, and being an artist, when he sold them, he could make something like 10 to 15 times the regular amount of a plain WW1 German Helmet because everyone wanted a Sniper Helmet to take back home.
Time to Wake up, Open your Eyes and Smell the Coffee! Nothing should surprise you anymore. When something is too good to be true, it usually is...
