I have a Dot 1944 that has two sets of serial numbers. There is a four digit italicized font number on the barrel with a lower case al under it. The receiver has the same number in Roman style numbers with upper case AI and is marked Mod. 98. Bolt is a mismatched late war style with round vent holes, but does have the guide rail on the body. The stock is marked dot on top of the handguard and on the bottom of the buttstock. It has the four digit serial inside the barrel channel. It has a bayonet mount and takedown disc. Faint eagle H on right side of stock. Lower band is stamped and welded style with four digit serial. Front band is speed milled also with the four digit serial. Stamped trigger guard and floorplate with capture screws.
The rifle appears to have been "de-nazified" after the war as all waffenampts have been peened or chiseled. No rampant lion proof marks can be found.
Did the Czechs assemble these after the war from misc. nazi era parts left over? Or is this a wartime rifle re-furbished and re-issued to some other country after the war?
The gun is import marked 98k Germanyicon, CAI St. Alb. VT. Anybody know about these?
