Here is a very hard to find svw45 in walnut. It has a blued receiver/barrel and the rest is mostly phosphate. Unfortunately it isn't all matching though. The bolt body matches the receiver but for some reason the back half of the bolt has been replaced at some point. It's a late phosphate MO back half which is interesting but who knows how or why it's on there.
It has an Astrawerke bolt in it and an e/18 rear sight leaf but the rest is all MO. The walnut is very poor quality and very similar to what you might see on a bnz45. Very porous and light. I'm not sure if someone at MO was just pissed off that day or if it's due to the poor quality wood but the WaA135 on the right side of the buttstock is extremely deeply struck.
Also of note is the e/135 accepted lower band. These aren't that rare or anything but the vast majority are unmarked. Possibly the bands accepted like this had some issue that required correction and then had to be inspected and accepted again? It's my first one at any rate. It's poorly struck and I didn't even notice it until I was editing the photos. I went back and tried to get some good pics of it but didn't succeed very well.
