G.s.m.g. P08

mauro · 09-29-2005, 03:05 PM

Hello Friends,
I have just received some pictures of this unusual P08. According with Walter G.S.M.G. should mean Maschinengewehr-Kompagnie des Garde-Schutzen-Battaillons.

Of course the position of the unit mark as well as the number 6 is quite strange.
Any suggestion?

Cheers,
Mauro
