Toggle/breechblock ID

[Dwight Gruber]

Had some spare time this evening, so got to looking at my shooter, and began wondering about where the toggle assembly came from. The frame and barrel is an S42 "G" date, all matching, but the toggle/breechblock is DWM (also all matching within its own assembly). It appears to be military, there is a German eagle proof mark on the upper left of the breechblock, and the numbers are stamped on the visible surface in the millitary fashion. The extractor is stamped geladen. The bottom of the rear toggle link has a small T stamped on it, and the inner surface of the front link has a larger and deeper stamp, an N superimposed with a T. The firing pin doesn't appear to be fluted.


Does this ring any bells with anybody, or is this search essentially quixotic?


What does anybody think of the chances of coming up with an S/42 toggle and breechblock to at least restore the gun to its representitive type?
