Looks good. Left grip screw might be replaced, no blue, a bit buggerd. What happened to the Made in Germany, something going on there, there’s no Y either.

The "Made in German" marking does look odd and is missing the "y" (too much beer with lunch that day?) I wonder how that particular marking was applied.
Interestingly, the "Made in Germany" marking on my Model 4 has a similar look to it.

The "Made in..." stamp is a US requirement for import.

I believe the original “place of mfg marking” was a UK requirement, which eventually backfired on them, as German products became a higher quality. It is known nowadays as the “export mark”
