Proof question on 1938 S/42

Boss302man · 06-22-2003, 12:11 AM

I looked at a 1938 S/42 Mauser at gun show today that has me puzzled. On the right side were 4 proofs instead of the usual three. The left most proof looked like a WaA number, followed by the usual E/63 E/63 then Army test proof. Any ideas on what the fourth one could have been ? Gun had all matching external serials, 90% original blue, period correct mag, owner is asking $750. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get the serial number. Any and all suggestions welcome !
