Sg42...?

Saw this listed on Feebay. Other than the optimistic starting price, there may be other concerns as well. Haven't owned one of these in 15 years, so maybe others with more recent familiarization can ring in:

Bayonet, scabbard and tool insert are each 100% reproduction.

Well known reproduction like mentioned by Slash. b.r.Andy

Thanks for your input Slash & Andy. Things that just didn't seem right to me were the grip panels curling up like potato chips at the ends (originals much more brittle & prone to just chipping off), the dull blue finish, general appearance of the tool kit (in particular the heavily struck & size of the "ltk" code) and a few other minor features. Hope nobody falls into the trap on this one...
