Broken original type one band vs replacement. Legit?

[HDSledge]

Hey Bob my cat used to put her paws up on the keyboard and one day I found her in the office doing a google search. She closed the window before I could get a look at what she was doing though. Probably kitty porn.

Back to the band question: So far no one has definitively named the replacement band as a repro. The edge is the biggest issue for me. Here is the pic with that highlighted. Did any supplier produce a band with that flat edged stock for WWII carbines?

You guys with known unmolested original carbines can solve this one for me. Do any of your prime examples have a sharp edge band around the stock or are they all rounded?

Flying10uk: re. Looking carefully at the edge of metal there is a difference between a Laser cut part and a punched part or normal stock edge.
What can you tell me about the edge on the right?



ps. I love this hobby but hate humpers passing off repro/rebuilt as original. A few months ago I thought a humper was an energetic puppy.

edit: John provided a pic of one of his originals, it has the rounded edge.
