Stock Finish: Most unstained, rough, Eagle H marked with corncobbed finish Metal Finish: Blued, some phosphate bolts on late (after about serial 95000)
Items below are for dot 1944 marked rifles, and are based on study of matching original guns- some variations do exist from this guide however. 1944 production rolled over from 1943 production at suffix "w" without starting over at 1. Other 5 digit guns with "a" suffixes are all 1945 date production. Based on serial studies, it has been forwarded that 1945 production started at or around serial 80-85000. Also, phosphate finished parts show up on these rifles, finishes that were not approved for use on major components before November 1944.
This is done based on evidence- some late 5 digit guns produced bear many manufacturing shortcuts introduced by Mauser in 1945- one keyis the trigger guard with no locking screws- those produced by Mauser and marked byf show up on Mauser rifles produced in December of 1944 and later- they also start showing up on dot 1944 marked rifles around the introduction of the later 5 digit serial number. While the following guns recievers are dated 1944, serious consideration must be made that the late 5 digit serial number guns were actually manufactured in 1945. The rifles produced by "Waffenwerke Brünn I" were coded "dot" from 1943- 1945.
