At the NJ gun collector meeting one of the guys was worried about his 1940 42 (if memory serves me right); and the owner was worried because the frame 3 looked different from the side of the reciever. I remembered that this was brought up and told him it was an accepted variation.

If I remember correctly, the frame had rounded 3's while the rest of the 3's were the straight edge at the top 3.
