Got it. Thanks for the info. There's a "K" stamped into the Bottom of the stock behind the palm swell about 1.5" above the sn and an "H" on the side of the butt stock. What do they signify?

So would it be true to say the action sn would have been stamped into whichever type of stock the assembler reached for, laminate, walnut, maple, etc, then stamped with the action sn? Were the stocks made and marked in blocks?

So the 1937 S/42 sn 2962 I have would be the first block made that year? It’s a laminate stock. Would the “block” have different stock’s mixed in it?

When you speak about the “ Block” , in reference to the serial #, what is that and where on the rifle would it be? I’m new to these things.

It’s the toolmaker in me. I visualize the outcome and any issues before doing any work.

Did you find any lower laminate SN's?

I just looked up the 1937 Luger now that WOULD look nice net to it!

I never would have thought that.

Good point. At this point why push breaking something that's not replaceable

I had carefully taken the action out to check for markings. I saw how it rocks from one lobe on take up to the other for firing. The toolmaker in me makes me curious. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Thanks, I value all of your expert options and will leave it as is. I like the history of it and it’s a conversation piece also.

I have shot 15 rounds through it so why push it. What would be a rough estimate of value for a rifle like this?

You are correct. I didn't think that one through.

I think I'll just put a cleaning rod in and a sling cinched up to keep the recoil from moving it around when shooting it. Thanks for the input.

I'm curious about the duffle cut. Would you repair it or just leave it like it is? It needs about a 1/16" spacer to fill the kerf or the spring won't fit in the groove just before the bayonet holder.

.....a few more pics!

That's what I have found in the little research I've done. The reddish figures are the colorant in the glue they used between the plies.

More pictures.

Hello All, I've had what appears to be a numbers matching rifle handed down from my dad.. He acquired it from a congregation member who's brother had served in WW2. According to the congregation member the brothers unit was in a fire fight with some German soldiers and all the Germans were...
