Went by the gun store to reexamine the rifle in question. Here are the particulars:
DWM Berlin 1918
Serial Number 6210.
Numbers match on all pieces, EXCEPT
The round piece that screws onto the bolt (into which the safety lever is inserted), is numbered 332. Also, the safety lever itself does not look to be the standard item. It appears to be somewhat thinner in terms of the flat blade, ie, there is a gap between the blade and the round piece.
Imperial markings all over it. No Nazi symbols note.
Letter "B" stamped into the stock. There is no sling hole in the stock, but has the bolt takedown ring. Stock is very dark color.
All metal work is blued, including receiver and bolt. Bluing appears to be original, as the receiver marks are hard to see, so there is some age on it.
No stacking hook on the front. K98K style rear sight. Simple post on the front that is also similar to my K98K, but no hood. Cleaning rod missing. They're asking 450 for it.
Barrel approximately 29 inches to the bolt face, give or take.
Thanks
