I'll give it a shot. I like this game. This is how we learn!

Things that are definitely wrong are:
1. no halos around barrel s.n.
2. relieved sear bar
3. C/M on mag upside down & has floating crown, mag s.n. wrong
font & too small
4. grips s.n. wrong font & shouldn't have C/M marks

Possibly questionable:
1. crown & C/M marks on receiver & barrel don't look quite right
2. Wilhelmshaven unit mark looks stamped- usually engraved
3. serial numbers on the t.d. lever and sideplate look different sizes
4. "altered" GESICHERT safety marking looks too perfect
5. small parts possibly re-strawed
