Are your cleaning rods 10 or 12 (inch) long? Only 12 long for K98k's made between 1939 - 1945. Are your cleaning rods original German WWII? And what about the serial numbers?
Yes, original German WWII and so are the serial numbers. Is a cleaning rod with serial number only correct for my K98k from 1939? K98k's from 1939 came often with a cleaning rod with WaA mark (Waffenamt, German inspector mark) + serial number.
Which dates rifles originally came with cleaning rod with serial number only? Roughly: 1940, 1941 and 1942. Do you have any cleaning rods with WaA marks and serial numbers?
Yes, however these are very hard to match. I have a couple of WaA623's and a WaA655. Do I need a cleaning rod with a 4 digit serial number? No, the cleaning rods were marked with the last 2 digits of the rifles serial number. Do you have all serial numbers from'00 to 99' in stock?No, approximately 33% of all serial numbers. Your chances are 1 to 3 and unfortunately getting lower every day.
