The "tree" represents the famous Oberndorf Proof House.

Regarding C96, an article in memorial of Burton Brenner (owner of Federal Ordnance, passed away in August 2009) published by Small Arms Review says "The Broomhandle was consistently a scarce and valuable item on the world market. Large quantities of them did not seem to exist in any one-supply source." (November issue, 2009).

Brenner/Federal Ordnance imported large volume of C&R surplus into the U.S. from Asia in 1980s. Many C96s flooding on gunbroker.com today were imported by him.
