"In regards to the SS blanko with the renumbered flashguard,it is your opinion that it is not correct for the SS. However,the SS acceptance standards may not have been bothered with a numbered functional part that you could not see."
unfortunally You have various opinion on same area, the Vz.24 were inerly overstamped with SS runes and twice serialed as SS property stamp, on other way the blanko should be not stamped or no problem by using of various parts? Some 45 dated pieces are innerly stamped, when the Russian already knoked on door, but early war period piece is missmatched with wehrmacht parts. So certainly doesnt functioned a repair facility. Your piece were not destined for SS because the WaA883 proofs, so it could be only got the marks by reworking.
As You mentioned 1938 Elite Diamant, SN8677, WA 218, with SS Property Stamp Lazy S over TK. Is possible that there were switched the grips, when on Elite are not serialed grips, it could by the previous owners were disassembled and switched with the blanko piece.
