I had hoped our Mr. Chadwick would see this and reply; if anyone can decipher these, its him! Thanks man.
My next question is to how this rifle made it here. Its in great shape without an important stamp or duffle cut. Could be early surplus or G.I. as well. I am guessing that as an 'older' rifle it would have remained in Police arsenal until the end of the war? I have certainly seen my fair share of Nazi re-issue WWI stuff but this one is just too nice. I wonder if maybe a G.I. found it at a police depot or something and sent it home from there. Alas... these rifles can't talk much and that makes this all the more speculative.
