Thanks, Frank.

I am just learning a bit more about magazines. There seems to be more forced matches out there than people realize. The ill fit, color & lack of craftsmanship on the grips are what got me to question those. I just plain curious about the origin of this piece. It does not seem to fit within the relm of any arsenal work that may have occured - pre or post war. It doesn't look like any Vopo, Russian or Finn rework. I want to guess that it is a homegrown job, but I am just not sure - especially with the strange marks on the slide.
