byf 41 round top 3 on frame flat top 3 rest.
This seems to be the normal especially on 3's. Many years ago I passed on a nice Mauser because of this difference. An old time Mauser collector set me straight several years later. I have a Krieghoff that is correct in all aspects. The rear toggle inside has an overstruck number. Correct font bluing correct. I have no problem with this at all. They were not perfect. Bill
