DWM 1917

[Warrior1354]

Anyway, teleology aside, it's nice to narrow down the ranges for the transitional period. I'm reminded of this '17 DWM, an h block that has the late features: https://www.k98kforum.com/threads/well-used-gewehr-98-1917-dwm-advice.51813/
Sam's q block looks rather late for the early features, hopefully more examples can narrow this further, and if we're really lucky collectors here with photography skills will acquire and document them.

I'm sure more examples will come to light Cyprus. Many items have been coming out of the woodwork lately. I have one that won't be here for a while so to speak lol.
