I bought a rifle from a friend a while back for 300 bucks. I think it was a steal but I'm not sure seeing as I haven't gotten much information on the rifle. I am hoping someone on here can send me in a direction. From what I can tell the rifle was made by Gustloff Werke and imported by the Tennessee gun company in Knoxville (specs below).
Ordinance Code: bcd
year: 1944
Serial Number: 7772 stock and receiver match but the bolt and the butt plate as well as a few other parts don't
It has a non-Hooded front sight which from what I have read is not common in this run, but info has been very limited
The stock is not in the best condition seeming unevenly laminated (forgive me if I'm using the wrong term, I am new to this.) This makes it hard to check for any markings such as the C that should be on the bottom of the spine.
There are several Eagles with the swastika on the left side next to the serial number, on top above the ordinance code, and one on the right side next to a 1 or I, I can't make out the difference. The metal is blued (I think) from what pictures I've seen.
Any help is greatly appreciated thank you in advance.
Edit: here are pictures
