Re: Mauser Type S

Some photos of the Type "s" rifles:
I bought the 7mm in a sealed bid auction in 2005 and have just gotten around to looking at it. It came with leather extensions that increased the LOP to 15 1/2. Fortunately the wood wasn't cut and the original buttplate was screwed on over the extensions. The rifle has been well used and abused. It would be interesting to know where and who. The stock is numbered to the gun and has a "W" stamped in it next to the serial number. The end of the stock doesn't appear factory to me.
I bought the 8mm recently. If not for the matching serial numbers, I would think it had been restocked due to the different checkering pattern on the forearm. There is an illegible letter stamped in the barrel channel. I don't know what the stenciled numbers and symbol on the buttstock indicate - military or police use? The stock cut-off is a little more elegant on this one. Perhaps it is some factory variation?
Sorry about the scrambled order of the photos. Struggled with the hosting app as usual.
