    Erma DSM 34 rifle . . . .

    Just picked up this today.

    I have Lud Olson's book and the DSM 34 he has pictured (page 300) is very much like mine, except---

    Mine has provision for a bayonet (has the "H" band also).

    Rifle in about 95% condition, 100% configuration.

    Bore about NEW!

    Will wring her out as soon as the sun shines again!!

    Any other web sites or info you have will be much appreciated! --Jim

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Are you sure it's a DSM34? Erma made several 22's before the war. Some intended for sales to Para-Military groups. Serial number range for Erma DSM34's is 36 [known lowest] to 12482 [known highest]. It should say Deutsches Sportmodell on the barrel or action. Most of the DSM 34's have a stacking/fake cleaning rod. As in the second from the top.

    Yep . . . .it is definitely a Erma-built, DSM 34.
    It states "Deutches Modell" on the right-rear of the receiver, just ahead of the bolt handle, above the wood line.
    It's serial number is 7409.
    As I stated, it's identical to the one Lud has pictured on page 300, except it's fitted with the "H"-band and bayonet lug. --Jim

    This doesn't sound like a true DSM 34 as it doesn't have the Sport nomenclature as do all the other makes of DSM 34. It then sounds like it is not a modified DSM 34 but an Erma model rifle. Other firms also built versions of K98kicon lookalikes Like Walther, Paatz,GECO and Simson/BSW. There were a couple of air rifles like the Haenel 33 and Mars 115 that looked like the K98k. I have an incomplete Walther Sportmodell and a Mars 115 in my collection.
    Post some pics of the action if you can. I would like to compare it to my two Mauser and one GECO DSM 34's. Or send a pic to n64atlas@embarqmail.com
