GB P08 1937 S/42 Beware

The earliest reported 1937 S/42 as per Hallock and Van de Kant is 380p. Jan Still reports 4500p. This gun is around 10,000 before this. So no one has seen an "o" suffix 1937 before.
- The straw looks redone.
- The extractor should be blued color not bronze.
- The ejector is incorrectly in the white.
- There should be halos around the serial number on the bottom of the barrel. There are none.
- The "matching magazine" is a fabrication.
- The grips are not original.
- The 6 on the safety lever bar may be a restamp.
- White stuff in all the markings hiding the stamps.
As the seller states it is a scarce variation!
