hello starsnbars 56 beautiful piece i has two turret sauer you have a small issue markings other than your serial number to hit the bolt handle in effect on one of mine did the bolt no eagle wa37 nor on the other hand i can not check because i have recuperated without the head thank you for your answer
I appreciate your compliment about the HT 98k. After quickly checking the bolt on the HT I haven't seen any deeply struck e/37 stamps. There are a couple of places (ejector, locking lug) that look to have a worn and very lightly struck acceptance mark, but I can't say for sure if it is such a mark. The late war guns were certainly not stamped as much as the earlier guns but I was surprised to not find any deeply stamped acceptance marks on the bolt. I did not take the bolt apart for inspection, I just did a quick look at the areas on the bolt that I knew were inspected in the earlier, well marked 98k bolts.
