Grooved Lower Band - WRA

[Arnhem44mad]

What do you guys think about this Grooved Lower Band?

I bought as SA but notice how the sides are rounded?

I feel this is a WRA Lower Band.

Many thanks.

Yes….it appears to be early WRA.
Nice piece.

Many thanks mate! It's a bit of a long shot but I'm going to start building an early WRA project. The receiver will probably be the last thing, but I recon it will be another 1943 WRA (I already have one all correct for 1943) which I will use to replicate an early one.

rounded corners are a WRA traight, SA would have square/sharp corners

Thank you Orlando, that's exactly what I believed but when I posted it on a group in Facebook, someone commented that it couldn't be WRA due to Lck of machining marks. I thought hey were there but not clear int he pictures.

machining marks on parts alone mean nothing......some SA parts will have rough machining
