any maker stamps?

Well it looks well made, so it would not be made by Dentix (made in Spain), it more likely be a Shoei (made in Japan)

Good replica, but the sling hook is on the wrong side.

Good replica, but the sling hook is on the wrong side.

On the originals one could have it either way. If you are right handed and wish to carry it across the chest, this one here is actually on the better side.

At those times right handed were not considered.
I read that this is called "partisans way" and I can't find a photo of a German with the sling on this side.

Other ways to tell if it's a Denix are the rear flip sight is a solid non operating casting, there is a casting seam along the top of the receiver, the mag housing will not accept original mags as the internal dimensions are slightly smaller than an original, the biggest givaway is the magazine is a hollow tube with no internals.
These Denix replicas can be purchased new from Soldier of Fortune for £120, not a lot of money for a replica I suppose.

Denix no doubt.
Mine is also Denix but heavily customised.

To move the sling hook one simply turns the barrel nut, loosening it, and flips the sight around to the opposite side, I have a photo or two showing it on the other side...somewhere.
