Yours is definitely 1944. The serial no. Is within that year’s.
Did you check under the butt plate? No troop tag? A pity, but still secondary.
No troop tag unfortunately.... I was pretty bummed about that, but hey, its still an awesome rifle! 1944 is a cool year!

Here’s my tag.
I have been looking for a K31 for some time and, in the end, I chose a well used one. I just felt attracted by this particular one. Blueing well worn, some banging on the woods, but good barrel and a great trigger.
I’ll post some pictures as soon as I’ll take’em.

Worst part is the buttplate rust, but thats expected by me on all milsurps. It's only on the inside. I took some 000 steel wool/ballistol to it and coated it good. So it should be good to go. The tiger stripe part of the stock looks actually like a repair. The wood grain is SO well blended thats its nearly impossible to tell from a distance, but the grains are different. That is the only spot on the stock that is spliced. I've seen them look like pool cues before. Maybe a refurb repair? Regardless, I love the way it looks. Definitely unique.

Here it is, my K31. Year 1941.
The sling is marked 1940.
Bayo not matching, but in gorgeous conditions.
I apologise for the poor quality of the pictures, but I took them in my “cave” this evening.
Bad light... I’ll make better ones when I come back from Germany next week.
I also took a picture of the front sight adjustment tool I made.
Found the idea on the web. Easy to make.
Take a 30 mm pipe block and a longer M8 screw, and there it is.
A fast filing of the screw is enough.
