gewehr hund

I've been away from the forum for quite a while however recently I began lurking here again. Last Thursday a guy came into my store carrying the J.P. Sauer & Sohn Gewehr 98 shown here. His grandfather had given him the rifle 25 years ago and two things became apparent while talking to him. The first was he had no emotional attachment to his Gewehr and the second was he thought he needed a 1911 type pistol. Well a deal was quickly reached and he went home with a 1911 and my collection has a new addition.
I present J.P. Sauer & Sohn 1916 s/n 2303q (if I didn't read the suffix correctly somebody let me know and I'll fix it ). The front band spring is broken, the bayonet lug pin, safety and rear locking screw are missing. The firing pin is either broken or clipped and somebody tried to grind a new tip on it but it is too short to fire. Every other number I can find matches. If I've missed something you'd like to see, let me know. The rifle is in pieces right now for some conservation so I can image pretty much anything.
