I cant wait to shoot this one!







I picked up some GP 11 too!

Can anyone give my info on the ID tag?

[Aragorn243]

Your tag is the first I've seen with a change on it but I haven't seen many.

The first line is the fellows name but I bet you figured that out.

The rest, we'll have to wait for some German speakers to tell us.

ooohhhhhh Im pretty excited! The handwriting seems to be the same. I tried to make out what was erased but its very faint.

Looks like the correction what the city he lived in. I would have liked to see his unit or company, but its still awesome none the less!

I believe, it is hard to read, but that the rest is an address. I cant tell but it looks like it says lerchen weg 75 (hard to read the numbers) and then the next line could be either a postal code or region. The line under the name looks like a european phone number. I know a good amount of german, but it has changed drastically in the last 10 or so years, becoming gradually more anglicized.

What was erased was probably his previous address. Looks like you found where he lived but the phone number has changed. Very interesting. I never tried anything with mine.

What do you guys think is the best way to contact? Should I just try giving him a call, LOL?

[TX_Mauser24/47]

You should just show up. Look up the address and appear on their doorstep.

[73amc]

LOL, that would be epic!

Send them a note and thank them for taking such good care of it. Nice rifle.
