I agree that some of the numbering an finish of this KU are not factory original, but the sideplate with the Mauser spare parts code "42" probably is. It's alway been my opinion that even though these are Mauser parts, they were assembled by Kreighoff rather than Mauser, so don't expect these to be typically Mauser. I've even owned a couple that had a few E/2 inspected interally marked KH made parts on them. Tom H.
