Khaki Posted 2 February , 2016 Share Posted 2 February , 2016 All matching numbers including wood, butt device stamped to S.M.6.11.1 K98az, usually issued to Artillery, Stosstruppen etc, this one survived the war and was selected for post war use, I think that the unit markings may be Police. khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trajan Posted 3 February , 2016 Share Posted 3 February , 2016 That looks really nice! I guess it must have frakturs all over the place! And as a 1920 approved one, then you need a nice S.84/98 for it. I was intrigued to see the muzzle-cover - is it (or anything else!) unit-marked?

Khaki Posted 3 February , 2016 Author Share Posted 3 February , 2016 Thanks Julian, I will check out the muzzle cover, I know that it has a serial number inside the cap. I do have a nice 84/98 to go with it. lhaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The marking could be for the Schutzpolizei Muenster district. http://oldmilitarymarkings.com/police_unit_marks.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaki Posted 4 February , 2016 Author Share Posted 4 February , 2016 Thanks, I had a feeling that it was some sort of police unit code, strangely enough I have a GW German trench knife with similar markings stamped on the grip, I appreciate the help. khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked the muzzle cover, inside the hinged lid there is a serial number and on the pointed area, which I guess is the 'thumb rest' for twisting & unlocking there is what appears to be a deep crown stamp, it is overall painted a field gray, so there maybe other marks underneath the paint. khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMB1943 Posted 4 February , 2016 Share Posted 4 February , 2016 Khaki, I must admit to being quite intrigued by the wooden chest upon which your two rifles are supported, as I have not seen anything quite like it. Leather carry-strap, so portable; adjustable board at LHS to raise/lower the butt; adjustable "arms" to hold forestock at RHS; two drawers for tools ? Was that made to your own design ? It looks pretty solid and well-made ! Regards, JMB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaki Posted 4 February , 2016 Author Share Posted 4 February , 2016 Hello JMB, Thanks, it is a neat piece of equipment, I use it mostly as a prop for photography, I keep a few simple tools in the drawers, I found it for sale in a used book shop, I think I paid under $10 for it. It is extremely well made and it also has a threaded rod which engages the two moving locking arms at the RHS of the stand. You can just see the threaded holes at the bottom of the arms. I think it was home made, but by someone who was very skilled. It is the only one I have seen. regards khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
