Did SG gets parts from S'G' ???

Gentlemen:

Saw a carbine on GB (http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=125684625) listed as an "early Saginaw". Noticed that some of the parts are identified as S'G'. I've read on this board where there was serial number swapping between the two manufacturers (at the Friday night card game?), but I was wondering whether this is a truly original carbine, or pieced together with SG and S'G' pieces.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

The answer is yes and no. Saginaw SG got parts from Saginaw S'G', but only after the end of the S'G' contract. So only the late SGs would have had a bunch of S'G' parts, not the early ones.
