I think that 42 should have a Mk I sight.
That's also the later "slipper" safety design, the third variation for LB AFAIK. You need the round one.

I've heard that before about the safety, however I've heard and read that this variant was possible. There is absolutely no signs of disassembly or screws being touched, so it appears this is original to the rifle, and the wear, etc is consistent as well. Who knows, may have been changed sometime later as well, post war??

Boy, these pics with the flash make the finish appear somewhat worse. I usually try to get shots without using flash. But I was in a hurry and didn't want to wait till morning.

I know what you mean. On my 41 it looks rusty in the pics but in reality it's not.
