Here is my K43 qve45 (7259 k) I bought recently, I'm not so sure about the stock as it has WaA359, which is Walther. I did see in "Hitler's Garands" that (if read correctly) if found on weapons of other manufacturers should be regarded as repro or collector "enhancement". Hoping that the stock is authentic. Are there other things I can look for to find this out please?
The rear sight is also Walther, the front sight and bolt carrier is WaA214 (4332 L). The butt plate is hatched & opens side ways, so a South American type as per the book.
Also, it's nitro proof stamps are visible either end, on the left it has 80 with the Ulm proof house symbol & eagle and on the right hand side is 8x57US.
