G29/40 A block 660 Radom Crest Kriegsmarine

indianadam · Feb 21, 2025

Hello,
I share with you pictures of my G29/40 A block, variant without the "G", with only the "wz" crossed out and the "/40" added.
This rifle was found at Challans, Vendée, France, thanks to my friend Fred who sold it to me.
It is untouched, matching numbers, Kriegsmarine stamp on the stock,
I will add another pics later after full disassembly,
Regards
Damien

Very nice Radom showing plenty of trinkets around the bolt.

Lucky charms

We see them on Radom made bolts on Wz.29s. So, here is my question. Was this originally a Polish made bolt that was then modified (bent) when the rifle was finished, or was this just the same people and processes , but under German control now, doing what they did before the war?

Fantastic example. Bit of a grail gun for many members here!

I really do love the Polish crest on these rifles and the condition on this one is excellent. Congrats on finding such a nice G29/40!

Thanks!
Unfortunatly, i can t disassembly the butt plate to see the markings under it on the wood. The top screw is a bit deformed with the butt plate hole bord due to the service use.. i dont want to force and dammage the head screw..
I am still in déplacement, i will disassembly the Woods when i will be back at home,
Regards

I managed to remove the butt plate screws, grey paint finish, stock maker BH and date 4 35, year is missing but i présume 1940.
Do you know who is BH stock maker?
Regards

Very nice rifle. The lucky charms on the bolt sleeve are proper polish markings. Seems like Radom has stuck to such proof marks even when working for the germans.

I noticed that too. Loaded with random glyphs and an e/77

Fantastic, on my bucket list of rifles, this is the second or third rifle I've seen here recently with the grey painted buttplate.

It's a really nice G.29/40, thank you very much for the photos.

Here is a spreadsheet which I did some years ago, maybe you can use it.

Edit: The "Rec Marking" is unimportant

That's not paint; jut a regular "in white" buttplate that has seen some abuse.

Like Aaron said, it's the known grey paint and in post #14 you can see it.

Now I see it. The side facing the stock.
