Gew 98 with intertwined BS marks

Karl · 11-11-2012, 07:34 PM

As I understand from various other forums, the mark is documented on several Ortgies pistols, Carbine 98 AZ (or carbine 98a) rifles, Gew 98M rifles (like mine) and a single MP18 at the West Point museum. Speculation about the mark includes the Bahnschutz theory above. In my opinion, the mark was probably associated with some kind of police or paramilitary unit but I am not very knowledgeable about this fascinating period of history.
