We will need more pictures, but the rifle looks like it has been cleaned. Concerning the Weimar, if its a DSM-34 it shouldn't have it because the DSM-34 was developed and issued for the Third Reich in 1934, hence DSM-34. Also, this is the first time I've ever seen or heard of a Weimar stamp on a DSM-34. Concerning the stamp, I will let others decide what it is... I'm not versed well in Weimar rifles. You might want to post in the Weimar rifle sub-thread.
you've got a very scarce example there my friend. Army procured and refurbished of some degree ? Need to see the whole rifle to figure what was done. Receiver also have the e/kg very nice. These aren't property marks but, acceptance of the depot after upgrade or repair.
I stand corrected.
It is a legit depot mark... Mauser99 was right it is Konigsberg. Wasn't sure where the rifle was made, but appears that Menz was located in Suhl... Maybe it was located in Poland or one of the eastern countries that the Third Reich took over... Konigsberg is in German Prussia, thinking that if it was a depot rifle it would go to the closest depot.
You'll need to take additional detailed pictures of the entire gun, maybe we can determine what work the depot did to the rifle.
Mauser99, weren't some of the the Gustloff KKWs in the 270k range sent to Depots to have the ZF41 attached?
See this post by FlyNaked about a stock he got..notice the same stamp on the right side. Is yours on the right or left? Attached a picture here of it.

After research I agree. We need to see lots of pics... no more teasing! You don't see as many Menz rifles as others, as they didn't make as many as other makers. To have it marked makes it that much more rare.
------------------
You might want to carefully take the action and barrel out of the stock and look at the bottom of the barrel and see if there are any marks. Also, anything on the grip area? Anything on the buttstock plate? Does the the bolt have a Serial Number on it and if so is it numbered to the rifle?

Wow that's some beautiful Elm furniture there! I love the way the grain 'flows', especially on the road side. What a great piece and now it just seems even more like a steal. Congrats and thanks for sharing this rare piece. (I'd never heard of August Menz outside tiny pistols)
