Plum

[1933 FORD NUT]

Here's some close ones with plum colored recievers .

Note the shattering on all but yours .

Yours is first and is quite different than the others .

1958 , 2054 , and 2066 have some plum color and chattering .

Last is my 2014 that has no plum color but has chattering .

What are your thoughts on the matter? In Gibson's book "Kreighoff Parabellum" on page 33 regarding the receivers he states that "It's possible that Mauser or Simpson parts were mixed in, but it would be the exception". The proofs are such that I would think it's OK. I'd like to know what you think. Mike

I find the second and third chamber pictures intriguing. I can not think of any tool that would leave that crosshatch pattern...

Maybe a shaper???
