Hi Erik,
The G date has been reblued. It should be rust blued with straw colored small parts... trigger, takedown lever, thumb safety, mag release button, and ejector. This will decrease it's value considerably. It's ashame because it has the original matching mag. The full serial# is 4713c.
The 1940-42 looks nice but with flash photos is hard to tell if it has the original blueing. Take photos in natural light in a shaded area or on an overcast day. The colors will be truer. Also use a darker background so the subject will show up lighter and show more detail.
