Curt..Go to this fellow's listing and look at photo #13. There are machine marks that goaccross the extractor and bolt. All lines match up. I would have to say this one is original to the pistol.
IF it turns out it isn't.. it's no great loss. This pistol's condition is such that it really wouldn't matter. While it's not rough in the extreme it is fairly rough for a Mauser Banner.
The grip on the left side is very worn and chipped. Most people who will shell out big bucks for a fairly rare Mauser Banner want one in much better condition. Even the magazine is rough. The grip straps and the left side are very poor.
I have to say the seller seems very fair in his description and it's worth about what he is starting it at...no reserve. Providing you want a poor condition Banner.
