Erma K98 1940

Does this Erma 1940 look ok? The font on the receiver looks a bit of compared to the one in the a block over at Picture Reference.

Looking at my e block in hand the fonts look spot on. We also have several common digits in the serial.

The serial number on the barrel is stamped over the waffenamt, is that normal?

I think it's a good looking rifle would like to see pictures of the stock proofs as well. After all you don't find many Walnut stocks this late in Erma production. Honestly I like seeing guns like this especially that layer of grime where the action meets the stock.

Looks like the back of the stock has been slightly sanded

I was so focused on looking at the fonts I didn't even really catch that. Sweet

Thank you for all your help. The rifle was up for auction and got out of my price range.

I love that thing layer of grim that has accumulated
between the stock and the metal. If it were mine I
would not disturb that. That doesn't occur over night.

What did it sell for?

What did it sell for?

I would also like to know if you don't mind.

 

[balkslak]

Around 700 USD, I know it's not alot for K98 in the US but in Norway these rifles sell for 500 USD

Holy cow! What a bargain, I would love to own that one.
