Dears,
Just arrived and already asking for help
While detecting at the Bulge, I found the following piece of equipment: a Mauser bolt (with curved lever) in rather good condition, but without the rest of the gun (I searched all around .. nothing.)
Could you help me identifying it ?
My first observations (after I partially dismantled it):
* All numbers are coherent (they all (at least) finish by 82). Fullest number reads 4582 (or maybe 1582)
* No swastika, but eagles (Weimar eagles ?)
* "something" like a "0" topped by a crown under one of the eagles
* a big "G" in the firing pin block (sorry, I do not know all the english terms, but you will recognize the parts on the pictures)
* double "o" forming a "8" at one place, and quadruple forming a Four Leaf Clover at another place
* a double "Y" stamp - looks like the first was not deep enough (on the corner", and therefore re-stamped (just my assumption)
Voilà .... The pictures will tell you more
Many thanks in advance for your wise infos.
