"Hashmark" Bolo, who did this?

I have never seen or heard of a 'hashmarked' barrel; it is much easier to mimic the M30 stepped barrel when replacing a barrel...That it is welded indicates to me that the 'new' barrel is not threaded but simply inserted & welded...The 'hashmarks' are to hide the weld??? Hmph...Which looks worse; a weld or a hashmark???

Re-blued, and the grips fit a lot sloppier than any of my C96/M30 grips...

I've also never seen a pinned front sight blade on a C96, have you???

In fact, I've never seen a 'band' for the front sight on a C96/M30...

71 bids and up to $3006...I find that unbelievable...

I can't tell if the book illustration shows the 'hashmarks'...Do you have the book??? Does it show 'hashmarks'???
