98k Stock serial numbers
Where is the serial number on the stock located?
How would a non matching stock affect the value of an otherwise matching 98k?
Thanks,
Jarrod

up until 1942, German 98ks had their serial number stamped on the underside of the butt stock and, depending on manufacturer, in the barrel channel. from '43 on they switched to only putting the serial number in the barrel channel.
a non matching stock doesn't significantly decrease the value of an all matching rifle, but it won't go for the same as a completely matching rifle

The Germans began to quit numbering stocks in very late 44/early 45. It varried from one factory to the next if/when they quit.

The cupped butt plate went into use in early 1940. I have a bpr dated 40 in the d letter block.
