Did you ever contact the WTS Koblenz? They have one.
I assume its is the one that was found in the WGM Museum Rastatt. Marked: "G 06 H", serial# 02
Attached photo shows parts of a MP45 that were bought by Dr. Ludwig Vorgrimler in the USA in 1954. It is not known, where the parts ended up.
In 1977 they took the Rastatt gun to the range. With original Wehrmacht ammo it worked just fine.
before I post what I have, is this what you are looking for
if so I have 12 sheets

S/N 2 is in possession of Springfield Armory and is the only rifle assembled from mostly original parts, although I don't believe the stock being correct.
Thats interesting. Have a report from WGM Rastatt dated November 1977 that they have G06H with Serial# 02.
Thank you so much. I haven't seen these before and I love your classy way of pinning the blueprint down for picture taking.
I think there is too little discussion and too little known about these rifles. The Gerat06 and 06H were a huge step in small arms development. The fact that their descendants are still produced and in use worldwide shows the significance of these rifles.
Would you mind sharing the report from WGM Rastatt as there is so little known about these rifles? Any shred of information helps tremendously in piecing back together the true origins of the H&K G3 and CETME C. Thanks.
I better don't post it, since it is a personal letter from Rolf Wirtgen to Dr. Vorgrimler. Back then, Wirtgen was student of history and recorded al weapons in the WGM Rastatt. Today he is chief of the WTS in Koblenz.
I'll translate the letter for you later.
Do you know what Vorgrimler wrote about the "history of development, from the CETME to the G3"? Have 14 pages about this matter. Typed and signed by Vorgrimler. But only a photocopy from his files. I do not know if it was ever published.
