don't know those answers but will observe
I didn't observe the items you mentioned but will checkout prior to purchasing. Its a bona fide collectible as far as I know. It been a part of a collection for many years. The entire unit still has the oil and grime coverings from the 90 years on them. The've never been cleaned up. I looked at it, but only to appreciate it. I will check it better if I can make the purchase. The holster looks genuine. The wear, coloring, smell, etc. appear to be genuine. I've only been into WWII for a couple of years but know guns pretty well. Have built a couple and have a few. Still don't feel that I know much and certainly not enough. When shelling out a few thousand for a gun you always have that sense and are leery that you could be buying a pig in a poke. I wasn't aware until recently about the adjustable sights and the windage factor built in. I've not purchased an Arty, just want one as my father brought one back and it didn't get saved due to some family interference, etc.
I appreciate the insights. That all I expected when I asked for help and couldn't provide pictures. I didn't expect an exact price quote. Just some guidance.
And much thanks to all.
I'm learning lots about this site. It is unreal.
as always,
Jack
