IMO, I believe a refinish and perhaps a restamp. 1.The S on the sideplate appears too high and not to the left of the serial number.
2. Most K dates have the S on the takedown (locking bolt) This one doesnt.
3. Never saw an S on the left side of the receiver
the first variations have the S above the acceptance marks on the RIGHT side of the receiver.
4. Strawing doesnt exhibit the striations of polish or direction I typical see.
5. By the top of the toggle link it appears to have a type 1 variation but the serial indicates a type 2 varition which should be a non fancy S.
Also S should be a smooth S if a type 2.
6. Would the MAgazines also be marked with an S (I have no idea on this one)?
