Hey guys,
I just picked this up and after wiping off all the cosmoline out of it or whatever goo that is, I found some proofs under the wood on the receiver that I've never seen before. I know the WAAs and the eagles are the german (WaA 77, I think a 243 and some small eagle over 20 or 26s) and the yugo crest on the top of the receiver but these are bugging me. I really dont know anything about the k98s or yugo rebuilds but interesting just trying to piece together some sort of history.
By the WaA77s on them, it looks like the receiver was made somewhere in 1944, but not sure of the whole story. Here is the best picture I could take of them, and they are all in pairs.
Starting from left to right (not the best picture i know) are pairs of: 5 pointed asteriks, sideways number 11, a pi symbol kinda animal shaped mark and then 2 shields. There is also a large 4 on the bottom of the receiver.

Anyone have any ideas?
