Hey Buddy, is that an E/4 in your pocket?
Glad you're happy with it. Finding bSw parts can be a long and winding road.
Have you thought about re-bluing it? It would look a bit more "correct".
You're doing great. There was a time when finding correct parts for or even KNOWING the little things about bSw were near impossible. And no surprise with the vendors comment, they are profit driven. We who love the hobby for the history and put these things together for the love of the hobby are the ambassador's of these fine weapons and bring it all forward. A vendor will sell a rifle or a part and forget all bout it.
