Jan,
Now that you have opened Pandora's Box, I have a couple of questions. This is the first time I have seen a First Issue Altered that has the safety marking "GESICHERT" rather than "Gesichert" (Upper and lower case letters). Does anyone else have an all upper case safety marking on a 1st Issue Altered? Also, in the photos I could not discern any "halo" on the barrel markings. Could this be attributed to refinishing during the alteration, or the resolution of the photos?
