I have a DOT 1944 all matching numbers 54XX aj, except bayonet and scabbard. It looks to be a duffle cut. No import markings and nothing peened. No number on receiver (normal I think for some DOTs) but number on barrel Wa63 marking on top of reciever and two on right side. Mod 98 and eagle on left side. Barrel has eagle on left side and DOT shield 13 with sn 54xx aj and wa63 on top. It also has EJ in large letters. It has a 12.5" cleaning rod and e marked bayonet lug. The stock is laminated with DOT on bottom and eagle and large H on right side and the SN stamped in the channel and looks like red glue. The barrel lands look immaculate. The trigger guard is marked B inside with an eagle 135 on the outside. Looks like phosphate finish, dark. It has an original sling.
The odd marking is a very crude number electro penciled by hand on the bolt under the extractor and looks like the same number that has been ground off the left side of the rear sight base (I can just make out the faint outline of the last two numbers). The number is W0025595.
Three things:
Any ideas on the electric pencil number?
What would the large E J stamped in the barrel mean?
Any idea how much it is worth.
Thanks,
