I fixed the plumbers post.. Geico is a very annoying tv commercial where this is a great rifle. This is the first version of the geco dsm34 of which there is two. This one follows the lines of the Waffenstadt suhl rifles and is marked the same way. Other than the geco logo.. And was no doubt made my the w.s.s. consordium. And marketed and sold through geco and there catalogs. I have a reprint of the 1938 catalog now and will show some pages soon..
thats how they do it in haverall !!! it's alot faster though...If you cant stand the damage I'll take it off you're hands..Dont feel bad. My waffenstadt suhl rf/ss has the same idiot marks on it as well. I just use a stip of leather and wrap it around the stock when working on my stuff..
