Hi, new here so thanks in advance for the help.
I have an interesting one. Karbiner 98a, 1914, Erfurt with a duffel bag cut hand guard. BSW marked and Waffenamt Nazi eagle proofed hand guard. Numbers all seem to match, no import marks.
I'm curious about the stock mostly. It does not have the finger grooves nor any take down/unit disk in the butt stock.
I suppose I need a true expert here. What details should I look for in identifying how much of this rifle is original and what kind of history it might have - metal parts seem to be correct stamped matching but how about the stock?

Thanks!
