The Brits occupied Ferlach post WWII and issued maker numbers to the Ferlach mechanics.

Raimey,
Thanks for the information. I have added a picture of the watertable for you. As for the rib, Classic Arms in Tennessee did some work to the rib - which I believe has been replaced. I called them describing the work and they thought that it was welded material for reinforcement. I've been told they do quality work on vintage guns so I'm not questioning it - It's a gun I plan on using in the field anyway.
