Gar trap or WRA. They look the same. Some have punch marks-even SA's. Some don't. If I needed it for a gas trap it would be a gas trap one, whatever is worth more. I'm sure someone could tell by forensic machining and dna analysis but it's beyond my level of expertise.

I'd call it an unmarked revision 2 SA.

~20,000 to ~30,000 SN range.

Pyle's book states ~15,000 range but 19058, as featured in the summer 2008 GCA Journal, has a 20 degree revision 1 slide. Since 19058 is the nicest original Gas Trap rifle in private hands I'd go with over 20,000 for revision 2.
