MP44 gasblock and front sight 'ce' WaA37 - good or Repro?

Hello everyone,

I have these two parts of an MP44 but I am unsure if they are real or Repro.
While doing research I was not able to find "ce" marked parts with a surface finish like this.

Thanks for help,
Christian

Earlier I was thinking these are original. That said it really looks like the finished ssd casting. The front sight has very pronounced features and angles. I'll get some pics tomorrow for y'all to compare.
 
Thank you. I already suspected it to be Dittrich.
But I never had a BD in hand, so I was unsure.

I paid $320 for both parts together, thinking they are real ww2 issue.
Do you know the price for Dittrich parts? I might keep them, or send them back to the seller, depending on their real value.

Cheers,
Christian
 
a steep price for a replica, I think that the gas block costs 70 euros and the other part about the same
 
Here's one example of a forward sight. Notice the features are 'softer' compared to the one above, also marking on front of sight. I'm aware that lots of variations exist of a single part or manufacturer mark, but this is the one I grabbed to compare to....
