Hallo Brian
thank you very much for all the info! I does lack the "NOT ENGLISH MAKE" stamp.
It all makes sense to me now! I can now also check all my other MS rifles! Would be interesting to see... I will post some photos later on a new thread.
Re the pin, I thing I'm just going to change the head to look like the original, but keep rest of pin as is, because it works and keep the barrel and stock securely in place and it stay in place. An original pin will not fit, as the tapered hole is now threaded for the replacement to screw in!

Re the restoration on the rifle... I know it is frown upon by the purists, but I like to restore objects to their former glory and a rifle must be appealing for me to look at and handle! I do use all my rifles to hunt with! I develop loads for them and try to shoot them regularly. There is still a relative number of MS rifles around in SA, and to find an unmolested one that was not restored or with all its parts is possible! Though, I still have to find one with the original cleaning rods in place.
See photos below of my MS1924 on a recent hunt..
