Hello,
I'm going to be looking at a 1940, code 243 k98k for sale locally in the next week or so and need some help. Seller tells me by phone its matching numbers "t" suffix and has an eagle M on stock but stock discs have no "N" or "O" numbers. Could this be correct for late 1940? I can't find any solid info concerning when stock disc numbering was discontinued by Kriegsmarine.
I do have a copy of Karabiner 98k vol II, haven't found answer there. Any advice or red flags would be very helpful.
If seller will allow, I'll try to take some photos and post. Given that seller is not computer savvy and over the phone he won't tell me the serial number other than it is four digits followed by letter "t", I have my doubts.
Thanks, Bob
