The 'kurz' models can only use the 8grm bulbs. The grooved frames on the early Singles are heavier than the later slant griped frames.
In it's evolution the Single got a more adjustable trigger and the very last version was identical in all but name to the Master incorporating that models adjustable sight rail.Most 'Lange' versions that I have seen have the later automatic gas release cap fitted. Production period 1960s - 1970s

With the kurz barrel yours will be one of these two.
