Genossenschaft Maschinenbau Staat Getriebe

Collective Machine State Factories

When the Russians took over they combined factories under collective control and restarted production of whatever was there. The term Maschinenbau means the whole machine building process to include design, engineering, tool making, and production.
They combined production facilities under broad areas of control. The GMSG might be found on bicycles, motorcycle parts, any type of industrial products. Reference the Luger, my completely unsubstantiated guess is that this is a post war remaining parts gun assembled in the 1946-1950 period while the factory (Mauser) was under direct Communst supervision. The 1191 is in the standard unit marking method. Let some of the experts define substantiate the Mauser profile of the gun, also the font used for the "6".
