Picked this up and wonder if you think it’s original matching? No SA and no import markings
Added some more pics. Inside of receiver is in the white

I think it is. Nice example.
WTB/WTT: (1)late E/H marked bcd stock either standard or semi-Kriegs; (2)unnumbered late MO Zf-41 stock, Kriegs or standard stock; (3)transitional late unnumbered type dot stock which uses bandspring and has bayo mount but no cleaning rod hole; (4)unnumbered byf standard stock as typically found on some byf 44 K and L block rifles; (5)unnumbered E/H bnz standard stock as typically found on bnz.4 and bnz 44 N, O, and P block rifles; (6)any bnz Kriegsmodell stock either with E/H or without
Sorry for bad pics. Just got in while out of town. My gut said it was right but wanted more opinions

Original. Nice one.

Looks good!
What type of sling is that?
Looks like nice prewar Izhewsk M91/30, 1937 matching. b.r.Andy
With the sling hangars, it almost certainly was exported from Spain, but it is an all original, apparently untouched, 91/30 so who cares.
Frankly, if it were mine, I'd get rid of the hangars.
I was wondering about the sling, also how it made it to the US in original condition. All more clear now. Checked another one off my bucket list

I also have a 1937 Izhevsk in original, matching condition in 120k serial range. In the past I also owned untouched matching 1937 Tula. Like RyanE wrote those rifles are early Spanish imports, before import markings were used. Usually they are in 1936, 1937 year range, which is when they were supplied to Spain by Soviets. Some of them survived in matching condition, escaped refinishing and today are gems among countless imports.
