Request for 1944/45 Steyr Data

Repo Field Gear Collector
Not doing a full blown study per se, but rather looking to add some potential variables to some trends I’m working on. I am only looking for data on 1944/45 Steyr rifles. Pictures are a must, otherwise it would be difficult to explain (unless you simply can’t provide pictures at least the bottom receiver numbers/letters would be useful). Please either post it here or if you’d rather not please PM for email. Included is a sample of the areas I would like to see; I’m looking into multiple obscure features and then some that are more readily apparent like process stamps. Even a few samples could potentially really help here guys, so I would really appreciate the input. Oh, also if you are going to the SOS consider it one beer per rifle entry! :happy0180: (fine print: limited to 6 beers per collector, or however much cash is in my wallet, whichever comes first, some expulsions may apply)

1) Receiver face for multiple trends.

2) Receiver bottom for any process stamps, numbers, letters (circle V7) etc.

3) Receiver bottom looking down at the trigger.

4) Lastly BC and S/N (or at least partial S/N and block if you don’t want to supply the full S/N) just to get some kind of timeframe.

"some expulsions may apply". [emoji1787]. I bet. In any case I have an s block original but brutally sportered stock and a decent t block. I'll check them out when I get a chance and post anything of value

Jim, many thanks! While you’re under the hood, any notation of process stamp numbers in the stock or any weird markings would be greatly appreciated, I know they are fairly sparse in this respect but you never know what might turn up. Of course I sold all of my bnz45’s a few years ago before I was studying this. :facepalm:
 
I will go over them with a fine tooth comb and look for anything I can find
