Hi Joseph,
Welcome to the forum. I'd like to help but without a photo or two your guess is as good as mine.
Regards, Norm

I agree with George of course..I wonder why it would have what appears to be a stick wing eagle on it?

I have seen a number of East German w nazi stamps. Assume the seller bought some stamps from the former east block countries....

There was a dealer in Texas several years ago who was a retired Army NCO and living in Germany when the "Wall" came down. He acquired a large number of East German tools and used to advertise them in "Shotgun News". I contacted him on the phone to ask about a particular tool with a serial number. He responded that he would have to check. He called me back a day later to report that he did indeed have it. I bought it. It was an East German tool that he simply added the number to. I carry it with me to this day.
