In the Oberndorf chapter of Volume IIa Bruce and Mike explain that serial number 6957g is the earliest recorded byf43 Z.F.41 - but I guess the f-block is very close to that, so it could be fine? You’ll need to provide pics.

Base looks legit, marked 135 and the stock relief looks correct as well.
Scope/Base was maybe just added as it does not appear numbered matched to the rifle (early byf ZF41's should have the mount matched to the rifle I believe). However, there is significant glare where it should be marked.
Stock is sanded - likely when the duffel cut repair was made (weird place for a duffel cut).
Very surprised this sold for $3800 CDN within a few days....likely because people sell RC's for $1400-1600 CDN these days in Canada - which is nutz - people don't realize they could import a Bolt MM for those dollars and maybe even luck into a matching rifle from the US.

It didn’t sold for 3800$ and of course it is a legit zf41 byf43 . I agree the scope and mount is not numbered to the rifle ( wich is not that uncommon . OriginalPage not Found | GUNPOST

Matching one was probably throwed out or broken at some point and then replaced later or after war for another one we will never know for sure . But the rifle was sitting in the veteran closet for 65 years until he died then the guy selling bought it straight from . Anyway this is a 100% matching rifle ( if you don’t count scope/mount) . The stock has sadly been sanded (probably during the cut repair like you mentionned) that sucks but still it is matching .

Was the duffel cut repair done with pins or wood dowels and epoxy or some other method?

It was 2 old nails with the head cut out and a bit of wood glue !
Still $3800 for sanded stock, ouch. I’m a wood nazi I suppose but to me, a rifle is not even collectible once sanded. Sad end for it.
