I recently picked up a bnz 1944 (PJ) MG42. The gun is substantially WWII but has a couple M53 parts on it. It comes with lots of spares that I have yet to examine so the proper parts may be included. The trigger housing on the gun seems to be unmarked, it has a yugo part numbered trigger and a F/S marked safety. Is there any way to tell if the housing is WWII?

Typically, a German wartime grip will have two waffenamts stamped on it. In relation to your picture, these would appear in the top right corner, on the side facing the camera, about where the two circles are.

That along with possibly a manufacturer code in the same area.
The trigger clearly looks yugo, the safety clearly German. Is there anything that can be told from the grip panels?
What would I expect to pay for a good condition WWII complete trigger stick?
What manufacturer would be correct for a 1944 bnz gun? cof? bpr? Other? Any?
