Unit markings question - WW1 era gun

MW2152 · 02-11-2019, 12:55 PM

So not too long ago I posted about a Military First Issue I have, which is WW1 German unit marked.

In thinking through what path the gun might have taken after WW1 ended, can I assume with at least a fair degree of certainty, that since the gun is not marked or stamped or dated with anything post-WW1 for markings, that it probably WAS in fact a WW1 bring-back souvenir?

I guess what i am getting at, is that if it were Police or Army or Weimer used and issued, it would be so marked in at least some fashion, to indicate that, correct?

Thanks!
