Yes, it is; but it is no military prototype - not with that incomplete VIN the seller is providing.

Oh yeah definatly not a prototype of any sort. It looks way too close to regular wolfs for that. If anything I wouldn't call it that special. Military G's can and are often configured in thousands of unique ways.

BUT!!!! Military G's are W461's; and he's showing it as a W460. It's obviously somebody's conversion to make it look like military. I can tell you at least one company in Austria that does exactly that.

I would never touch it if it wasn't authentic, i'm just posting the link in case Dee8go would like to see it.

I've heard of people kitting out Land Rover Discoverys and advertising them as real "Camel Trophy" vehicles, thankfully there is a good club that will tell you whether or not someone is lieing. I didn't realize anyone was pulling the same trick with Wolfs. Seems kinda pointless....aren't there plenty of surplus Wolfs on the market in Germany?
