If you get a response from Weihrauch add it to the list: it can only help others.

The Mk1 has the ball bearing catch (not the sliding catch) and no anti-bear trap.
Fascinating information Lumberjack, that would put mine approx 85 to 86, dependant on Manufacture/delivery. The one I have recently bought has the bear trap (assuming it was not a retro fit or custom accessory)
It has a ball bearing catch, but has been customised by Venom and has their silencer and cocking arm mounting location, (ball bearing) so I don't know how close this is to the HW standard factory issue
FYI Its marked W.Germany, also I will definately post any info I recieve from Weihrauch.

Thanks again for the help and valuable information.
