Today was MG-34 day

Well, after a couple months and several trips to the range, it looks like I've finally chased the gremlins out of the MG34. After replacing several worn trigger group parts, and some clipped/incorrect springs, it finally ran normally for 200 rounds straight. No doubling on semi auto, and no runaway on full auto. Finally a nice, reliable MG. I'm a happy camper.

So, in "The Mauser Parabellum", Hallock and Van de Kant don't list any long guns with Navy property numbers. This MG-34 is clearly marked O.272 on the receiver. I'm pretty sure that's an Ostsee property mark. Does anyone have a list or ledger of Navy property marked items, other than P08's?(and flare guns and swords) I'm thinking there aren't any listed by H & VDK because none were reported, and they weren't looking for any.
