Curious about date of manufacture

Ed,

Here are all the markings I can see without taking anything apart.

Top - DWM logo

Front view underneath the barrel top to bottom - 8736, GERMANY, "h" (small case cursive)

Bottom view underneath barrel - Crown over N, 8736, h. Bottom side of lever - 36. Next to trigger - 36.

Right side - no markings

Back view - 36 behind rear sight.

Left side - Crown over N just behind barrel (vertical). 873 near top on side of action. 36 on tab that comes up when the safety is engaged. GESICHERT under safety.

The caliber is .30 luger. I can find no date on the gun.

It has wood checkered grips with no markings (on the outside).

I don't have a digital camera to supply pictures.

Thanks for any info you can provide.

Rob
