STAR 9mm nazi proofed

[birdie]

I have a 1944 Nazi Waffen Amped STAR..now I know some were nazi proofed after war to fool collectors...
Trying to narrow down ser # ranges for those actually issued to Germans my # is in the 243,xxx range...seems right on the cusp either way..

Thanks

UPDATE:

Ha, just found this info:

The following serial numbers are the actual Nazi German delivery contracts:

First Variation: 4000 pistols, not Waffenampt, delivered to occupied France on May 15 and 28, 1942. Serials 210951-214950

Second Variation: 7,999 pistols delivered to German headquarters in Hendaye, France on July 26, 1943. Waffenampt WaA251. 4,000 for Army, 3,999 for Navy.
