This serial number was first reported in auto mag in 1992 - I had no other information on it
It may have been refinished, but I have found that the toggles and the acceptance markings are sometimes light on Simsons (hard receivers / toggles).
That said, the upper looks a bit off to me also - not consistent wear with the front gripstrap....
Is the stock lug stamped? ( i now see american fakers stamping the stock lugs), but its a good indication that the frame was twice checked at the factory.
