Hi Jim, That Gunbroker item you posted is a very interesting gun. To call it mismatched is the under statement of the year! The frame is from a pre 1919 Erfurt, the toggle train from a 1939 or earlier Mauser, and the receiver from a 1941 Mauser. If that wasn't enough, the small parts all come from different guns. Regards, Norm

I thought I saw some of those East German Police proofs on the Gunbroker item; that little bird that looks like a chicken.
