Incredible WaA location:Eeeeeek:

[me6_130]

For those who like WaA stamps on weapons, here is an incredible one. No only an unusual place but 2+ maker's logo on the same MG34 part , the fire selector: I'm sure it is an early war item, and they had a lot of time and people to do so.

WaA proofs should be stamped, this is a engraved one so very suspicious.

Sorry to disagree...I don't know how many WaA you have seen but there are many kinds and engraved ones are good, depending on the kind of item they are on. Take any MG bolt and you will see what I mean.
Anyhow, the item is not a fake and the seller got no special extra for the piece being WaAmpted.

WaA Engraved

100% original. I have several in identical condition.

Ok maybe i am wrong, i dont know why should be someone engrave 2 WaA on the same part, but when You have enough piece to compare, is no problem, on bayonets and rifles are always WaA stamped. In most smaller and clearer configuration.
Could You explain why is there WaA with both different numbers on same production piece?

I have seen bolts with up to 5 WaA stamps!!!!

Both WaA11 and WaA39 were inspectors for the Rheinmetall-Borsig complex. Perhaps different sections or production lines had different inspectors and minor pieces were assambled in a larger plant.

The "S" symbol reminds me of the Waffenfabrik Solothurn symbol. They did make weapons for the Germans so it could be real perhaps.

Hello, The 'S' is part of 'bsw' which stands for for Berliner-Suhler Waffen, latter to become 'Gustloff-Werke, formerly the old Simson & Co factory. They made over 130,000 Mg34s. It's 100% real for sure, if not I will eat my hat! all the best Jonathan.

BSW logo would have been used between 1936 and 1939...when they still had a lot of time to stamp their logo on every little part.

I forgot I also had one of my MG34 AA sights with a BSW stamp.
