Have had this 1939 K98 Code 47 in the family for about 65 years. Haven't disassembled but all numbers which are visible are matching. Question is, the Middle Band appears to be mounted wrong. I was thinking perhaps it was a replacement put on "upside down" but it is clearly stamped with the 47 code and the first two numbers of the serial number (and perhaps the second two on the other side of the swivel)? Maybe an armorer disassembled for whatever reason and reassembled wrong? Or were some manufactured this way. Can't find any pictures showing it mounted this way. Any help or insight is greatly appreciated. If this picture isn't good, happy to post more.
