to clean for real but not an expert and I'm sure the G & X should line up with the machined lines on the clamp too.

No. If the G & X line up with the machined lines, its a replica.
I have a vintage that is cleaner than this one (NOS) so that is
really not a good indicator.

Nice find! Good price?
Thank you Photobucket for the best Sig ever!

Hmm could of sworn it was the other way round in a thread I read a couple of weeks ago about the same thing, I stand corrected, as I said I'm not an expert on these oldies
