Nice looking "G" date... Congratulations.

Pictures taken in indirect (shaded) light outdoors without the flash will make it easier to judge finish. Use the closeup mode of your camera and a tripod for crisp closeups of marked areas. My first impression is that it's in it's original finish. It's hard to judge the straw from these photos.

I think I can make out inspection marks E/211 (Corrected to DE/63) S92 DE. If that's true, it's in the same variation as mine which is in the early "d" block. Looks all matching from visible numbered parts. Let us know the s/n (including letter suffix) for those that track "G" dates.

I believe that a correct period magazine should have an aluminum base.
