Arrived. In general, it's good. Blue is fine, with minor erosion on magazine well. Matching, but with one issue -- the gun is 433238, but the panels are 433258. 3 vs 5, is it famous "Factory Error"?? God knows. H marked on both panels, probably grip fitter's name initial.

This stock attaches this gun perfectly, not too tight, and not too loose. It's amazing, because it does not fit any gun that passed my hand, except this one. Will give it test firing over the weekend.

Short barrel ["Bolo"] on full-size C96 gripframe/mismatched numbers would lead me to believe 'mixmaster', but not a problem to me. Hard rubber grips definitely a plus. What little of stock showing looks too good to be that old...

But you are much more experienced than I will ever be. If you have doubts then you are likely correct.

Which rear sight does it have? 500m or 1,000m?

I like it.
