I have found a dealer who has four Weimar bolt bodies, stripped, with Weimar eagles and acceptance numbers which are not WaA codes. The numbers: 7, 77, 92, 211. Does anyone know which factories used these numbers?
You are asking questions only a few can answer, you will find no answers on a casual search...
WaA7 is not likely, probably misread or interpreted.
WaA77 is ERMA or SDP-Radom, neither Weimar (Republic)
WaA92 could be WMO, but not Weimar, typically this is in the box format, but WaA does exist (from recollection, not sure on bolt bodies)
WaA211 is Mauser Berlin, probably early WMO also, could have to check trends.
Anyway, none of these are really Republican era in the traditional sense, technically the Republic did exist after Hitler took power, some might say until Hindenburg died, but however you view the political aspects, what collectors view the break is between the end of the 98b and the introduction of the 98k, which is 1933-1934 (it is probable the 98b wasn't made after 1931-1932, though the S28's are difficult to date, anyway none of these are pre-98k acceptance.

This is the seller. Four bolts are listed as Weimar. I was unable to attach their photos. Unfortunately none of their pictures include the bottom of the bolt handle, only the front and top. What do you think?
I have lists of WaA numbers and factories but I don’t think they include Weimar numbers.
Has anyone looked at the Weimar bolts in the attached link?
I have a 1935 Sauer and Sohn, it is much easier to send pictures of the Weimar proof marks and the bolt markings over email. If you wish to contact me, my email isjacole0725@gmail.com
