    Oprod

    Your Oprod is wrong. Should be a flat sided -9 SA with NO cut on the unit.
    I beleive the stock should still be a NFR cartouche. All items can be easily corrected.

    Good luck

    It seems the bolt was also stuck in a time warp!
    Looks very nice though, you may gift it to me without any remorse.

    Rebuild

    Looks like a rebuild to me. The heel appears annealed and the SHM is a common post-war rebuild characteristic. That would explain the "wrong" parts, wouldn't it?
    Real men measure once and cut.
