Here is a EM 24 .22 caliber conversion unit (sans tool, box) that was accepted as Weimar Navy property and marked with a matching Nordsee property number N.167,
Mag and floorplate with E/280 proofs only, no serial or navy stamps; chamber area of barrel with N.167 and M/anchor ; locking area marked “67”; “receiver ” #5633, marked N.Nr167 with WaA51 proof and “ M/anchor” proof on bottom of bolt handle. 722 is assembly number of bolt.
N167 .22 conv unit has a 1937 dated floorplate , yet its Nordsee number is in a range similar to three published luger conversion units (N.101, N.130, N.256) probably dating from earlier 1930s. Also barrel/bolt was marked as Weimar navy property (Crown/Anchor), and this stamp is not seen on navy lugers after 1935 production. Interesting anomalies or reassembly/put together?
