Looks pretty honest to me .

Looking at the front frame pic tells me the entire frame has not been redone .
Maybe just redone to cover the hack job on the lug area .

You mention different variations on 1936 dated HK's .
Yes to that and this is a late one .
Note the 85 on the saftey bar .
Earlier ones are usually not numbered .
Note the frame front is not quite as polished as earlier 1936 dated ones .

This late example is more like a 1937 and should have serial numbers on most parts .

Does the owner know it is butchered ?
I have a weakness for honest but crippled HK"s but not at that price .
Actually have a good HK frame but obviously not this number .

And yes it is a standard military contract gun = late serial placement .
Takedown lever looks right and will be numbered on the inside .
