All right I finally got my dream rifle. I won this rifle South African auction in August 2018. The rifle was built by Spandau in 1900. according to the description it's a service in Imperial German East Africa before being transferred to South West Africa and be used by the Landespolizei. I literally cannot confirm that this is true but I am still doing my research on it. The top part of the receiver and the unit disk on the stock are marked L.P. 200. from what I can see it's matching but I don't know if the stock is matching because one of the action screws is frozen. So I can't take the rifle completely apart yet. The previous owner of the rifle use the rifle as a target rifle so the left side of the stock has been cut into for a Redfield style of rear sight. also the stock has been broken from their trigger guard through the wrist. There has been a repair where the serial number would be on the wrist the person put in a screw. Other than that she is definitely the crown jewel of my collection. I will take more pictures of it when I have it apart. Enjoy.
