Just getting into German small arms and I got the itch for a Commission Rifle. Since I have a lot of respect for Dennis Kroh so I jumped on this one when it was offered last week. The big brown truck dropped it off today and this is what was in the box.
Odd that the receiver is not Turk marked, no? Anything interesting about the markings? Any info on the unit marking on the front barrel band? Haven't been around these enough to judge value of original German rifles vs. their exported counterparts. According to Dennis this is the original Turkish finish after it went through re-build, and is in pretty good shape minus the blemish on the left of the receiver ring.
Any opinions on ammo selection. I am familiar with the 1905 conversion to accept the spitzer cartridge and stripper clips, which was actually a big selling point to me.
