Engraved receiver markings are normal for a no letter block.
It appears that Brunn I did not get the directive to change from the number code (945) to the letter code (dot) until very late in 1940. By that time, they had already produced thousands of '945 1941' receivers which they could no longer use. I assume the HWA refused to accept any rifles marked 945. Since a 'dot 1941' die was not ready, the first month or so of production used blank receivers that had the markings engraved instead.
The 945 marked receivers were put into storage or the depot system as spare parts, and some seem to have been assembled into guns post-war.

945 1941 G33/40 unserialed
Here is an oldie but a goodie- some people have probably never seen one, or even heard of one. These 945 1941 code G33/40 rifles show up like this one, built completely from armorers parts. Theories abound saying they are late war assembled for Volkssturm, and that may be the case for some, but...

Looks ok. Bolts are usually faked in the US, I don't know about Europe.

Write G33/40 is not perfcet and the write and the number is more different from original
