I have S/147/G #3064f. The rifle matches except for the short cleaning rod, which is #90 and appears to have an Eagle/63 WaA. The bore is very good. The stock is correctly numbered inside and out. The handguard is numbered inside. The only unusual thing about this rifle is the number on the band spring. The full number, 3064, is on the back of the spring, facing the stock instead of on the side facing up.Section for J.P. Sauer

I will be taking photos for Mike and will post them.
I bought this rifle 6 years ago from David Condon in Middleburg, VA. It is the oldest matching K98k I have seen, personally. I would love to see others.

Hey TA is that a "v?" If it is and the rifle is a 147, 1938, that would be the new high serial.
What about O block?
s/147
It is e/214 x 3
and e/214 on all parts less rear site which is e/359
..
I was thinking "c" block, as much as anything because of the BC which is darn early (compared to the other 4 documented..); the manner in which it is arranged (BC) is the later style though.
Is this an S/147 receiver or just 147? How is the receiver serialed? Is the suffix clearer?
Anyway, thanks TA, much appreciated! Now I have 5 147/38's BC recorded!
