    Wow! You have a matching magazine. That seems to be unusual.

    Very unusual to find a matching magazine, three shipped with each pistol. I also believe this magazine original and not a replacement with added number.

    I believe the rear sight modified or replaced and likely the pistol refinished. I don't have one of my Sistemas handy but I don't remember any with that undercut on the grip safety.

    Any import marks on the pistol?

    There is no undercut in the grip safety, no import markings!

    I took it to the range and fired three rounds at 15yds and all three were touching.

    Then possibly a shadow in the third photo. Check around the very bottom of the magazine well for a tiny import stamp. I have a Marina marked there.

    I still see something around the inside curve of the grips safety but I think it's a reflection from the top of the plastic box. On my monitor the reflection more pronounced in the last photo from the first set.
