I have a 1937 S/42 that is almost certainly a Russian capture that has been dip blued. The period-correct type-4 unnumbered magazine is from a few years later and the grips are from a few years newer Mauser and unnumbered but have an E/655 stamp on one grip. Otherwise it's 100% matching including the firing pin, axel pin and hold open. There's not a forced-match part on it anywhere.
