Hey everyone, so I got this rifle a couple years back as a consignment. I don’t know too much about it other than it’s a 1933 and supposedly a “railroad” rifle. Also I heard there’s only 35 of these that still exist but I find that hard to believe. Any more information any of yall could provide is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Yes it is "Deutsche Reichsbahn" railroad. Other than the added sling swivel, it looks okay so far.
Here's one from the Picture Reference Section for comparison.

MY 1933 railway banner
Believe it or not Bruce doesnt own every banner that was ever made. I wanted to post some photos of this rifle before I pass it along. I've owned it quite a while. This is a very early railway banner serial # 1424. And it is very nice ++++ Enjoy. Oh, for the army blanket guys this a korean war...

They're not super duper common, but there are certainly more than 35 of them.

looks like bubba added lower sling swivels. such a shame. the stock is sold walnut so you can plug them.Oh ok, thank you!
I don't remember off the top of my head, I'll check and get back with you.
I wish I knew how! I definitely would do my best to restore it to how it originally looked. I am still grateful that it hasn't been too bubba'd.
