A coworker shared this with me, all numbers matching, etc, etc. Victim of a house fire. I'll have to ask him about what markings it has on top...

I'd still buy it. Not top dollar, but not scrap value either.

If it suffered through a house fire, it is no longer safe to shoot... the metal has been softened or annealed by the fire. None of the parts that take an impact during the fire should be used in a different pistol (breechblock, toggle, pins, barrel, upper receiver, lower receiver). Springs will likely be useless... A wall hanger in my opinion and not much more... what a pity! too bad it wasn't a Nambu!
