Here's my G.33/40 rifle. It has no serial numbers, but otherwise appears to be all correct. Rifles lacking serial numbers were probably built up of spare parts as souvenirs for GI's immediately following WWII. These are seen in varying stages of completion, often with missing or incomplete rear sights. One such G.33/40 has been documented on which the barrel does not index with the receiver and is screwed in only finger tight.
The receiver is the only part finished in phosphate. All other parts are either blued and polished, or left bright. All inspection marks are WaA63 or 607. Many parts have a tiny z in a circle, meaning unknown. The barrel appears to be properly installed and head spaced. Magazine/trigger guard bolts are not staked as they usually are on factory-built rifles. There are no firing proof marks on the receiver. I have not removed the hand guard and so have not checked for a barrel proof.
