Simson "sneak" re-work?

Dwight, I checked the barrel witness mark (but neglected to photograph it); the mark is uniform and straight, indicating that it was not rebarreled..or if it was rebarreled, it was done with such precision that it would be impossible to tell either way. The line's indentation and depth match and line up.

The left receiver is blank as is the takedown plate, and the frame front (ahead of the trigger guard) just shows the serial number/letter.

I'll get photographs of it all tonight, provided I can get my work area clean enough to photograph

One thing I did notice when I was checking it again last night; on the front of the front sight base (front being muzzle-side), there's an R (or a B perhaps?) stamped. I didn't notice it before.

What I cannot photograph I will write down; as you can tell from the above photos, I lack a decent tripod

Again, thanks!
