Effect of hot/Tokarev loads on Broomhandle???

It looks like something was done to the side of the frame, then filled in and filed away again?

I can imagine that someone who found himself owning a 'locked up' Mauser would try and poke around to see where to deblock it, drilling some 'inspection holes' here and there?

You mean the scratches in the milled indentation above the trigger??? I know that Keng's puts their import marking there; I'm guessing the previous owner sanded/filed it down...There's nothing on the inside to indicate drilling or filling...
