Hey Guys,
Is it possible for a bnz45, very early "S" block to have a stamped, no BYF mark, single WaA 135 TG that's cut for lock screws with none installed and utilizing unnotched TG screws to be considered period correct, or is it generally believed that this was unlikely to happen? Thanks in advance for any and all opinions.:happy0180:

I don’t see why not either. This is very much like the early weighted Walther PP grips being dug back out in 1945.

Why not ???? First In, First Out does not always apply to available inventory.

Thanks Dave,:biggrin1:
So far I agree with the "Why Not?", but It's just that I've never seen one. I was hoping that with all of the seniority and experience on this Forum that a few might have come out of the woodwork. :happy0180:
 
Ive also never seen one. It would be easily corrected but would suck to correct if it was legit.
 
I’ve got a couple Czech examples during the transition period that are drilled for lock screws but not tapped or installed, much like the undrilled cleaning rod holes. I’ve never seen a steyr example. but I’ve got an early q block BNZ 44 still with the lock screws installed. So I’d say possible and like Dave said too. I’ve also got a BNZ 44 receiver finished as a late s block so things do pop up when you don’t expect it.
 
When I see something odd like this I like to look at the rest of the rifle. If patina is similar on all the parts and it looks Unmessed with, i say it could be original. I bought a byf45 that was built using a byf triggerguard with lock screws, the screws and lock screws were phosphate.

I found this on an old info sheet I filled out years ago, pre internet and thought it was interesting, but perhaps not legit. I sadly have no access to the rifle now and stupidly didn't even write down who it belonged to.:sorry::behindsofa:
