This rifle is fitted with a professionally made copy experimental resin stock. During the early stages of the preparation and execution of World War II, the Wehrmacht explored a number of alternatives for conventional dried and turned hardwood gunstocks, hoping to find something faster, cheaper, and more tolerant to shifting of temperature and humidity. In the end, laminated wood was found to check all the boxes, and would become the de-facto standard for the K98k through the bulk of the war. As such, fiber resin stocks were made in very limited quantity for evaluation and field testing. "243/1939" marked receiver ring. "eagle/26" and "eagle/swastika" proofed receiver and barrel. Spurious drooped wing "eagle/H", "eagle/WaA211" and "eagle/WaA211" proofs on the right of the buttstock with faintly visible matching serial number "686" on the underside. Includes leather sling.
