Default Boge Rear Shock - Original?

When I replaced my rear shocks on my 87 911 I was a little curious about the Boge shock that was on the car. May questions are:
1) What is the likelihood the shock was original with the car?
2) Do they have any value?
3) Would it make any sense to revalve the shock -- not that I plan on putting it back in the car? Don't plan on selling the car in the near future, but wondering if a new buyer would like to have it.

It is probably original unless you have records stating they were changed. I don't think Boge's are revalveable like Bilsteins

Go directly to Bilstein Sports. Will make a world of difference.

amber lamps - Yes, Blistein Sports in the rear is exactly what I have now
I will most likely put the Boge's in the attic with the rest of my extra Porsche parts that I probably will not use...

If it were original, wouldn't it say made in _West_ Germany?
