I don't know if you were ever on active duty, but you find VERY strange things in units that nobody cares about.
Navy in the late '60's early '70's I went to the armory on base to check out a .22 target pistol for league. The normal "check-outs" at that time were either High Standards or Model 41's (depending on how lucky you were.)
Anyway, the armorer handed me a Colt Target Woodsman, 1st Model, complete with the elephant ear stocks. When I made comment, he said he had 10 of them in the vault, all with USN Property marks. I was tempted to "lose" it and just pay for it, but I figured it wouldn't help my career much.
