1944 DOU 100% numbers matching all original warhorse!

[BROBS]

Just picked this up at the gun show.
I love it! I feel the sling was pre-45 repaired but who knows for sure? It's at least original.

Came out of a longtime collection.
Merry Christmas to me!

Thanks for looking!

Nice find!!!

Wish there was k98k like this at shows in canada. Haha.

Thanks!
My wife picked up a pretty nicely preserved eagle L marked police HSC pistol.... For a song.

Today was a good gun show. Around here it seems most are looking for new guns or shooters, not collector pieces.

Can you post the pics of that one?

Lovely rifle! !!!
The only drawback being that the cleaning rod is not from that very rifle but from an earlier one.
Nice find anyway !!!!!

Ha. I'm surprised it has a cleaning rod at all. I'm not worried as I think they used whatever they could get. I doubt the soldier would have said "I best not go into battle with the wrong cleaning rod!!"

I will take pics of the HSC either tonight or tomorrow. We have our last family Christmas gathering today. I would say the pistol is about 95% finish.

As it took like three cleaning rods connected together to swab a barrel, the soldiers would do it en masse.....After this was done, really took very little concern as to which rifle had which cleaning rod.....It was war after all....Bodes

[BROBS]

Good point Bodes... Never really thought about that.

1944 DOU 100% numbers matching all original warhorse!

Would there or is there markings on the stock? I don't see any but it doesn't look like it was sanded ever, either.

Or were all markings on the 1944 DOU rifles on the interior of the stock?

Thanks for the comments guys. I was surprised that this guy had an all matcher as he usually has lots of mixmasters or RC/imports. Glad I took a closer look! What I noticed first was the original sling.

Any help with the stock markings or lack thereof?

Here is a link to the HSc I found at the same time as requested above:
