I would take what you get from 24hourcampfire collectors BBS as "Bible". I have minty 1949 99EG .300Sav. from original owner with vintage dust in the magazine. Sorry matey, but I'm not interested enough in numbers to take mine apart since nothing in it is broken. Theorecially all numbers should match, but you're looking at not "Made in Germany" mass-produced piece, if you know what I mean.
