Is this a WWII bolt?
Heres a pic of the bolt in my last kit from Dan the Man. The stud has a faint Waffen mark, but I wa wondering if its an amalgamation of parts -pre and post or all WWII. That and Ive decided Im tired of Tom's "this thread needs pics" so I thought I's take several to update some previous posts.... ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Great men are born in fire, it is the privilege of lessor men to light the flame, no matter the cost

Bolt
I finally got home last night and got up early this morning to look at my Bolt. The Post War Bolt I got from Dan is like yours "gunslingerdoc". It has the WWII Body and the post war head. I do have a WWII spare head like the photo posted by "Otis". I changed out the post war head to the WWII head, so I now have a WWII complete Bolt to put into the Spare Bolt Box on the Lafette.
Just for completeness of discussion, the one Yugo M-53 bolt I have has a bolt head that looks identical to the German WWII design. The bolt has no German markings (nor none obliterated) and only Yugo markings to my knowledge. It would appear that the Yugoslavians continued production of the German WWII design.
Not sure on the shield. 'dfb" is marked lettering in the shield (below the lettering in the shield is the number "5"). "dfb" is Gustloff Co., Waffenfabrik, Suhl. I've seen the same shield type markings with "cra" before on barrels. I'll dig agound and see if I come up with something.
Maybe Dan knows and will add to this?
BTW, this is a photo of the other side of the same bolt head
