Picked this one up from the trader. There was some concern that the stock was shellacked when I bought it. When I got it, the stock did have something on it (dried oil or cosmoline maybe) in a few places. Normally i leave these untouched but this one just needed the slightest cleanup. So lightly that the original green house paint that's on it didn't get touched. Anyway, typical L block Kriegsmodell, nothing super rare or anything, but has a few quirks I saw. Has partial firing proof on the barrel shoulder, most likely from operator error. I'm fairly sure a machine was used to stamp these and the operator let it get away from him?
Only other anomaly is the 3 e/135 inspections on the triggerguard. I'm guessing the pressure of increased production affected everyone. I'm posting this as I'm testing out my photo equipment since I had to pack it up when my daughter came home from college (she went back), also as a preview to another late Mauser Kreigsmodell that should arrive soon, it's what I'm calling a Unicorn. Check back Monday night.
