Thanks for the reply. I have noticed other RZM SAs with overhangs, heres one on Lakeside:

Have also seen some other sites with this overhang on RZMs.

Also with regards to the paint on the scabbard, i thought alot of RZMs were painted. And this paint has spidering, what makes you think its re-painted and didn't come from the factory painted like that?
Thanks

Lewis
