Cutaways need some form of provenance to reach higher levels.
As stated before, anyone could have made it at any given time otherwise.
The post-war Mauser Parabellum cutaway on Simpson's site is a factory job, there is documentation on the creation of these (and HSc's) and that influences the value in a positive way.
Here is a HSc cutaway with the Mauser order and invoice form made out to then-Mauser manager Prof. Dr. Gminder.
