Hi,

Although I do not have a Manhurin P1, over on the c&r ffl discussion list, these were recently discussed. The consensus is the parts were made at Walther, shipped to France for assembly and proofing, then sold to the Berlin police. The Eagle/Swastika was added by the US importer who list members thought might be John Jovino, a New York importer who is well known for the Australian Enfield rifles he imported many years ago. Although the manufacturing sequence and location is not entirely certain, the discussion list participants seemed fairly sure the eagle stamps were very recent fake additions.


I hope that is of some help.
