There is apparently very little information on this 1940 era rework. In Kenyon's book he states that "few" were made of the VONO rework and "very few" of the Anschutz (pp. 358 & 359). How many is "very few"--1000?, 100?, 10??? My Anschutz is a typical DWM military, serial #3794c, buffed, rebarrelled and nicely re-blued. The barrel has the "9mm parabellum" on the top and E/N, E/J and "JD ANSCHUTZ" stamped underneath. The serial near the chamber is different, but, interestingly, the number 3794 is stamped on the barrelnear the front sight. E/N lazy proofs appear on the right side of the frame, receiver and right sides of the breechblock and forward toggle link. The receiver has a notched chamber for an artillery sight. Do any of the experts have knowledge regarding this "interesting re-work of the Nazi era" (Kenyon's words)?
