The answer to all this yes. They would have made one that late. Hammer guns are made today. The concave flats are not unusual. Sounds like a decent field gun that was meant for the European market. While it should have no problem with modern ammo, it is still over 60+ years old. I would not feed it a constant diet of duck loads. I picked up a Husqvarna hammer gun of the same vintage. Once the stock was removed all sorts of cracks were discovered. So have the gun checked out.
