Any clues?

Post WW1,the Baltic states were "gifted" bought at the right price,a motley collection of goodies.

One of them, Lithuania, I think, ended up with a large stash of P-14 rifles, it .303.

They also received a quantity of ex-Imperial German Army Mh-08 and 08-15 machine guns, all in original 7.92 x 56 calibre.

And their uniforms were a mixed bag of "surplus" German stuff.

A bargain is a bargain.

The P-14s apparently received an additional rectangular brass "ID plate" on the butt.

A seriously "pre-loved" one of these went through a gun shop in Toowoomba, Queensland, about ten years ago. Background story between the Baltic and Australia is totally unknown Current disposition also unknown

Pic of Lithuanian troops attached.

I will dig a bit deeper for any more pix in a similar vein.
