    The serial range was the last batch manufactured and the barrel could be original. One thing to look at is the area around where the front sight would have gone. On a fake or "reproduction", the metal is bare and not finished. A legitimate 03A4 barrel would be the same finish for the whole barrel, the area around the front sight included.
