1936 S/42 rear sight markings

[Mauser4me]

Got a stripped S/42 1936 receiver a few years ago and am looking to restore it. I'm wondering how the rear sight base (and front sight) would have been marked though; it is serial number 3108l. I know it would be a droop wing waffenampt 63, though I'm not sure if it would be a droop wing eagle over 'WaA 63' or just the number '63'.

Looked through the picture references here and googling matched examples, but hardly anyone has rear sight base markings.

I posted my ‘36 S/42 a couple days ago. If you like a little later today I can post some rear sight pics for you.

Sure that'd be great! Looks like yours is in the k block so real close to mine. Checked and see you haven't put those pics up yet. No rush. But yes would like to see the rear and front sight markings. Thanks!

Perfect thanks! Is the front sight base marked with the same stamps that the rear sight base has? Or is it marked like your rear sight leaf is?

Front site base is E/waA63 with K (probably early K/karabiner stamp I would think, and not letter block like I said before)
