So I won this on Gun Broker about a week and a half ago. Wasn't planning on buying it, but no one was bidding on it so I went for it. Bolt was sportered, which might have keep people away, also slightly mislabeled. Either way I got it for $205.
When I got it I was happy to find that the bolt was not matching. I took the striker assembly and screwed into a extra armourer's bolt body I picked up recently. The only bad part was that the wood has been slightly cut away so the sporter bolt handle to fit down. Irritating, but not serious. Think I'm going to cut a small piece of wood to fill in the cut, won't glue it though. Other than that it looks pretty good.
It is matched except for the entire bolt, rear sight leaf, floorplate/follower, front band, and cleaning rod (which is acceptance stamped). Interestingly, some of the acceptance look very similar to mid-war DWM, especially the Ʒ on the stock. Somehow, it has not been through a depot rework. Unfortunately it is not unit marked, but I can live with that, still a hard date to find. Barrel is rough, but I need to go shooting soon anyway. Not much else to say, overall I think it was a good buy. Here are the numbers:
