Thanks guys!!!!!!!!!

The only thing I would question is the catch. The base of the catch looks to have a darkened area that could be residual solder resulting from a repair.

I agree, perfectly fine original Orth in very nice condition.

Don brings up a good point about the catch, might be a very neatly done repair, or it could just be a shadow around the base of the catch. The catch itself is correct and wartime, but it may just be reattached.
