Many times a rifle will have a altered receiver (SS service, some reworks have forced match numbers, sometimes foreign service will renumber the rifle) and these unfortunately can’t help. We are after serial numbers most especially- as the suffix is especially important I would like to “see” the suffix if there is any doubt to what it might be. (It is very easy to misread certain letters.) If privacy is desired you can email me (or TP), also if you have some reason to keep the full serial number private, the first two digits & suffix will do, images preferred (especially for new highs) but not required. We need manufacturer/date; serial number & right receiver proofs (top/right/left receiver)- if there are any unusual markings or proofs that would also be of interest (dual manufactured/reworked rifles, & star marked receivers). Particularly trying to find a pattern to the right receiver proofs. Further, for the common wartime makers the higher the serial number the more likely it will be a new high number & these are of greater value for our study. Common wartime makers are: Mauser Oberndorf; Danzig; Spandau; Amberg; DWM For all pre-war makers (Erfurt; Danzig; Spandau; Amberg; Mauser Oberndorf; DWM) & for the “scarcer” wartime makers (JP Sauer; VC Schilling; Simson; CG Haenel; Oberspree Kornbusch/Oberpree- especially 1915 & 1918 dated rifles) all serial numbers are of value, because some of the makers are scarcely represented some years & a few we have only “book referenced existence”- no observed examples. Some of the more desired manufacturer/date combinations are: all Erfurt production (1909, 1912, 1913, & 1918 have no observed rifles at all); Danzig 1913; Amberg 1911, 1912; quite a few MO are lightly represented- as are some pre-war DWM. ![]() Thanks for any assistance- Edited by - graf on 1:39:30 PM mman Gunboards.Com Gold Star Member 2357 Posts Posted -: 9:02:20 PM Show Profile Email Poster Edit Reply Reply with Quote View user's IP address Delete Reply Gew98, 1898 Oberndorf, ser# 3174 Gew98, 1906 DWM.
