german marked SMLE (real or fake?)

[Homer2]

Milsurp rifles were captured, stamped and used by opposing nations. There are literally thousands of Mosins and other soviet weapons that bear Nazi stamps.

Where? I have seen plenty of WW1 captured stamps on Mosins from Germany and Austria, but never seen a legitimate WW2 German marked Mosin. That M44 is really sad. If it weren't stamped by someone with ADD, it would be a nice example of an unusual Mosin and quite desirable.

I would love to see an example of a Nazi marked Mosin for comparison. There have been plenty of Finn marked [SA] 91/30's that were recaptured by the Soviets and imported with the last batch of refurb rifles. If there were truely Nazi marked Mosins, there would be ample examples showing up with refurbs and other places. No such thing as far as I have seen.

Germans definately used SVTs, Mosins, TT-33s, and such. Were they property marked? How many of those have turned up?

Buy the rifle, not the story. It's called a Criswellian Fallacy to have to prove something didn't happen. The burden of proof is not on the skeptic.
