D.R.P. = Deutsches Reich Patent (German Empire patent)

u. = und (and)

A.P. = Andere Patents (other patents)

I hope I spelled the German correctly. Just means that the design is protected under German and other patents. The other patents may be existing or applied for.

Ron, I agree with most of your translation except the "A". it stands for Ausland (foreign) patents. Tom H.

That gun looks a lot like one of them Fed Ord chinese rebuilds to me.

Ron Wood · 05-01-2002, 02:20 AM

Yeh, that makes sense! Thanks Tom.

How about: Deutche Reich Post

Ron Wood · 05-01-2002, 10:49 AM

It is Patent, that I am sure of and can document. I was misinformed about the A but Tom corrected that.

Carl · 05-01-2002, 01:31 PM

You'r correct. When I looked at it again I would agree with you.
