Some one I worked with once claimed he had some sort of walther pp or ppk made from metal of the Graf Spee and bought it because of that claim. The metallurgy needed for pistols can be a lot different than is what is needed for a garand receiver.Hey cling to your beliefs .. I will back you 100%,, But you need to back me up about my Argentine Ballester–Molina being made from the metal salvaged off the Graf Spee.. I do believe ...I do believe..
