I have made some poor pics, but at least you'll see the condition of the frame and toggle. There is minor pitting on the upper left frame which is blued over, but not so thick as to hide it. The interior of the frame has very thin blue as well. So a re-dip or re-brush for sure. I am sorry the pics are dark. You can see the "G" though, and the Mauser "42" on the toggle. Some of these are marked "S/42" so I wonder if mine has any significance ? Everything is serialized correctly to either "5775" or "75". Even the firing pin. The serial numbers are clear and not muddied by excess blue. So have a look, criticize, and I'll see if I can set up better pics. Also, I will not re-assemble the gun until I have determined whether or not to re-straw. So far, you guys (experts) are split on this !
Thanks for all the help.
