Well, I received my 1940 Mauser and I am not disappointed, a few small blemishes. I have uploaded pictures up my on server and would like feedback. All numbers match, took it mostly apart, but not alllll the way. Under the sideplate, there are scratches from a screwdriver or something, not bad, but there.
The serial number is 4890 h
(note: The left side picture looks like it has a nick on the barrel, it doesn't).
Trigger plate has 90 on the outside and 49 on the inside. NORMAL?
Grips are very sharp and nice, both are stamped eagle 655 on the inside. NORMAL?
Magazine is an aluminum bottom, serial 9939 and marked Eagle 63. Obviously Incorrect, but same type?
What is your estimation of bluing remaining?
First two are smaller pictures to view, the others are much (much) larger for close viewing.
