These guns are very often shown in auctions, all are fakes with a lot of faked marks, e.g. LW5 on the rear barrel hook lock, the air force mark on the stock, proof mark of Suhl etc. Only the marks of proof house St. Etienne, France are genuine.

The whole idea of makes zero sense to me. I mean why have military decorations like Iron Cross of different classes, Iron Cross in Gold, Oak Leaves, Swords and giving out French or Belgian clunkers to good soldiers. I'm not buying into this.
