Guide:
“H” – Hannover
Sfp - Spandau type fireproof
RR- right receiver acceptance stamp
S&H = Siemens & Halske, Charlottenburg-Berlin
Pieper = Anciens Etablissements Pieper, Herstal-Liege
BRS= Before Rearsight
FRS= Front Rearsight
(-)= believed
Bolded = fully or mostly matching
** I removed 6 rifles that were in my trends, one because it was a duplicate reporting incorrectly identified, 4 others because the suffix was not clear enough for certainty. 9220/h I made an exception, the receiver suffix is not clear, but the re-barrel is clearly an "h" suffix, but as it is a 1917 take that in mind. More examples with matching bolts and stocks were available, but only two with full details. Mark Wieringa and Craig Brown reports are inconsistent with my practice and those above must keep that in mind, I interpreted their meaning in several instances. MikeF example (2646) more details are needed if possible.
*** Note too, no e or f blocks known and Pieper's are more numerous than I originally believed, the two suppliers seem to group to a degree in observations.

Temporary post, save the images if you research these as they will only be up for a few days or week.
