Polish WZ29 German Rework?

[militarytorch]

I got this rifle recently and I was wondering what you guys think about this one.
It has a huge 8mm on a side of the receiver and it is probably an importer's mark???
Could German's have stamped it with that ugly stamp?
There is a number 2 and 12 on the butt-plate, what are those?

Thank you very much.

I doubt the Germans stamped the 8mm that large and on the receiver like that.
Likely applied by post-war user before export to US.

Normally the 50s and 60s imports will be marked with a small Germany stamp and /or a small 8mm caliber designation.
I have 2 Banners, one with 8mm stamped on the rear sigth base, and the 2nd with a small 8mm stamped on the barrel
between the bands. Also have several matched rifles with the small German stamp (one on trigge housing, the other
on the rear sight base).

As stated 1950 - 1960 imports often had a tiny 8mm stamped on the barrel or the rear sight base. With your gun I believe this is a "Billy Bob Job" done to prevent some one from trying to force a 30.06 into it.

Nice German rework..

I've never seen the 8mm that big. What was the orig cal??

Too bad someone did that. I think my 3 year old can do a better job than whoever put that 8mm there.
Other than that is it a correct polish wz reworked by Germans rifle?

Thank you

It might be a German acceptance stamp, but the serial number matches the receiver, and the oval cartouche next to the eagle looks Polish. Does the barrel have a continuous taper (Polish) or a stepped taper (German)?
