S/42 1938 Purchase Decision

Ejector color varies greatly according to how long it was heat treated. I don't see any immediate issues with this one.

I also agree that this is the original, matching magazine. There are no obvious signs of scrubbing and renumbering. The mag bottom has the correct, factory contour with no buffing or tampering.

The price is top end for me as well, but within the "fair" range for such a pistol.
