Hi XXX, thanks fo the pm, this is on hold for a trade. To answer your questions:
1( good catch on the Waa's...they are also missing on the right side of the reciever. I posted this question myself when I first got the k98 on another forum, was told that byf in 1942, for whatever reason, had a 6 month period or so where they did not proof certain parts. It is actually quite interesting, and I will try and find the link.
2)I do not believe the stok has been resanded, if so VERY lightly. However as stated, it does hold a coat or two of postwar varnish.
3)both the serial number and the WaA are visible on the butt under the varnish. My poor camera skills and flash do hide this.
4)all finish on the metal parts has mostly worn, it has not been refinished, but would be a good candidate for it. I did not think that it was bead blasted, moreso just left to the elements.
5)bore is good only, no pitting but dark. Never shot it.
6)comes as pictured, sling included
7)bolt needs a new extractor, cocking piece does not match bolt either.
PM
