Concerns on K Date

[gunnertwo]

Friends,

I'm viewing a K Date that is presently for sale at auction. I have concerns that it has been modified and is not original. My main issue is the serial number on the front of the frame. In my opinion the frame has been shaved and a new serial number applied. The main indicator is the style of font in the numbering. It does not match the rest of the gun. The "matching" magazine is described as renumbered (good the seller states that). The style on numbering between frame and mag are the same. I would appreciate comments on the gun and the conclusion I have reached. Thanks.
