Thanks for posting this. Too bad I'm overseas at the moment and have no way to close the deal or I would jump on it.

Re: heres a dummy ?

I've seen and held MG42's in dark gray park, probably a form of the zinc version. Problem is to determine if it was an original finish or a refinish done at a later date. Most I've seen were blued.
