Hey there, so I recently bought some G98/40 barrel bands off of eBay (I had posted a link a few days ago when they had stock - they're sold out now), and I was fully expecting them to be serial numbered, but they weren't. The bayonet lug rail is WaA 63 marked on the underside, and the rear band is WaA 63 marked on next to the sling mount. I don't really believe someone was counterfeiting these (they only had 2 sets, and they shipped from France), but I just had never come by bands which were not serial numbered. Does anybody have any experience with these? Are they simply like late war un-serialised K98 bands? I think they made the G98/40 into 1944 so it could be that simple.
The listing had generic stock photos of the bands so that's why I didn't know they were un-serialised until delivery.
*I uploaded some photos but I'm positive that they attached so if they don't show up PM me please*
