>>>what do you mean 'gun is a fake?<<<
This guns are often seen at auctions and collector pages online.
This gun as shown in the thread has a lot of marks whitch don't have any correlation.
1.On the bascule are shown ACIER FIN, that means stainless steel, not true,
2.Medaille d'or =gold medal, but from where?
e.g. Medaille D'Or Paris will be right.
3. 1/39 is a proof date used in Germany, never in France, France was occupied in June 1940, St. Etienne belongs to the "Zone Libre", not occupied, therefore fake.
4. The sign LW5 and the eagle with swastika belongs to the German airforce.
5. When a gun was proofed in a foreign proof house like St. Etienne it don't need German proof marks.
etc., etc.
THIS GUN IS A COMPLETE FAKE!
