Is this seller's description reasonable ?

The extractor marked on both sides is likely just a replacement part as this seems to be the only Dutch contract part of this gun. Photos of the safety in the upper position by the seller to hide the fact that the safety is not marked safe in Dutch as "Rust" instead of "Gesichert" is just unacceptable. I think the seller also has the suffix "n" wrong as I cannot locate any Mauser Banners with an "n" suffix range listed in my reference guides.

Mauser Banner Dutch Navy contract pistols would be in the 2130-2654 v suffix range. Additionally, serial #'s 2655v-3254v should be the guns that didn't make it to the Netherlands, but the safety would have still been marked "RUST". Corrections welcome here! VLIM?

In addition to the double marked extractor and the "Rust" safety, my Mauser Banner Dutch Navy, one of 224 made in 1939, is marked "KM" on the front grip strap.
