Excuse me if I'm wrong but wouldn't the 655 on the bolt underside be from a 39-41 Oberndorf rifle, and the 135 on the stock be a later Oberndorf unit? Wouldn't that make this not a matching piece? Still a very nice rifle but not pure sauer, right? Maybe I'm not understanding the term matching here though.

And if that's a 26 on the Bolt Shroud wouldn't that be a Borsigwalde part?

I don't know that this adds anything to the discussion but another idea that may have already been discounted but just yesterday I got a 1934 Radom rifle which has one of those odd marks on it. I'm sorry I don't remember which part it was on but it was so ugly it stuck in my mind. they had a variety of strange marks some of which are very clever and obvious to distinguish from one another, I didn't even know what class to put that mark in, it's not a letter, number or pictoglyph. Maybe the barrel came from Poland?

Correction: The Radom doesn't have exactly that mark on it, though it does have a variety of other odd marks. I still wouldn't be surprised given the WaA623 if there was a Polish connection to the barrel.

Radom didn't make 98 barrels, I'm sure you're right. But they did seem to go overboard with heiroglyphic-like marks on what they did produce. Maybe this was some sort of Polish thing?

I understood that Styer 623/77 marked rifles got the 77 marked parts from Radom, a location in Poland. Mightn't this 623 barrel come from other Polish mfg. source?

I stand corrected. Just trying to be helpful.

Radom Heiroglyph Marks

Sarge, for comparasion sake, as soon as I get the pictures formatted, I'll start a post and show you all the odd little marks on various parts of the 1934 wz.29 I picked up last weekend. I recognized on of them from the underside of a 77 marked bolt I got on a 98k mismatch.

Radom Marks

Sarge, for comparison sake (as soon as I get the pictures formatted which should take a couple of days) I'll start a new post and show you all the odd little marks on various parts of the Radom 1934 wz.29 I picked up last weekend. I recognized one of them from the underside of a 77 marked bolt I got on a 98k mismatch. It's amazing how many they used and on parts from the receiver to ejector, probably half the major parts has something on it.

sorry for the double bump, don't know how I did that.
