BYF 44 98 Rifle with No Serial Number??
A friend showed me some photos of a beautiful BYF 44 rifle that has no serial number. I assume it is an RC rifle because it has an EP number on the bolt and other parts are mismatched, but neither the receiver or barrel has a serial number. The byf 44 mark, the swastika markings, and the waffenampts are very sharp which seems to discount any notion the numbers were scrubbed and neither the receiver or barrel show any signs of any metal having been removed.
Has anyone encountered any similar rifles? Was this common or is this an unusual item? Any value to a collector beyond a standard rifle? Thanks!
