bs, I feel that you got your money's worth for all the items shown in your photos. As previously requested, a clear photo of the suffix letter below the serial on your frame may be of interest. If the letter suffix has been over-stamped with a crown, this may indicate what was called a "Riff contract" which has never been proven to exist. Since no one knows for sure what this indicates, it at least does make it different from it's original normal commerical production. I suspect that this marking was modified by recipient country (?), to indicate their ownership, similar to the Finish SA marking to indicate army possession. This may be an area worthy of some research. TH
