A recent & interesting pickup. Both the buttplate and disc are marked to the 14th Reiter Regiment. Stock has the serial, an Imperial marking on underside of butt, a 1920 stamp on left side of butt and finally an “S” on right side near disc. No wrist markings unusually. Also worth noting its duffel cut under the rear band. The receiver has the added 1920 property marking too. Barrel appears original as the font matches the receiver. All matching as reworked too with several parts exhibiting crude renumbering. Bands have four digits, rear sight has the added pin and follower the bolt hold open. This gun appears to be similar: https://www.k98kforum.com/threads/danzig-1911-double-date.37536/
