Rework?

Kingfisher:

Welcome. We would appreciate a first name and a general location!

Here is a short thread on the other forum with a similar gun:

Looks like the rework dates from the 1940s. Any way you could get us some photos? You mentioned the chamber is blank, but is the toggle marked with either "DWM" or "Erfurt"?

Clark,

Thanks for the thread, I will take a look at it. The toggle is marked DWM, and there appeared to be a very faint Weimar "stick" eagle proof on the left side of the front toggle. This buddy of mine lives some distance from me and I just happened to drop by last week to see him. I didn't have a camera with me so I can't post any pictures. The condition overall was pretty good, about 80-85% and pretty decent straw as well. It did have some light freckling on it in places, probably from improper storage. I'm down Deep South of you. Thanks, I appreciate the reply, I have enjoyed reading the posts on the forum and am amazed at the knowledge pool here.
