I used to be a minor expert & major bore on the M40 series.
In fact I built a few reproductions using various original & period correct items.
There are a few glaring omissions in the build which should be obvious,but the most obvious would be the lack of clip (6 & 7 digit series) & or lug slotting (later E & G series).
