Hi all, looking at potentially purchasing a DOU 44 Kar98 local to me. It has some of the later war features like stamped barrel bands and fewer numbered parts. All the parts which are numbered are matched.

My main question is, I noticed the milled floor plate is unnumbered and is paired with a stamped trigger guard. Does this check out for a DOU 44?

Check the reference section for DOU 44 rifles. All parts should be serialed based on my memory.
 
What’s the sn? Later double letter blocks eliminated the sn on bands TG/FP etc. also milled FPs are very common on later guns well into b block in 45.

Agree that it's going to matter what the block is for S/N, but both dot and dou show up with unmarked, milled FPs very late.
 
Thanks for the responses everyone. It appears to be 7495 T? Added a photo. Front barrel band has a number but rear does not

FP should still have the 4 digit serial at this point, so it's a replacement. Did you look on the bottom of the rear band for the serial?
