Ha! Not that I’ve ever heard. Could you imagine, the Russians are marching their way across Eastern Europe and the Germans are too busy putting white paint on the markings of their rifles!
Almost as bad as that Gunbroker seller that was claiming the white/brown coloring on the markings of his refurb 91/30 were remnants of poison that the soldier would lick off to commit suicide instead of being captured.
I have an East German Mosin. I can tell because it is stamped /1\. Eisel certified that it is legit. It’s very rare.
