Those rimmed rounds look veeeeery much like 303.... can there be a bit of a mix up here? Could it be that the 303 rounds had mauserlike stripper clips before the ones we know from WW1 and 2? -
DDR My DDR awards collection
Chris Boonzaier replied to Grant Broadhurst's topic in Germany: Post 1945: Bundesrepublik & DDR
If there had been an ounce of originality there... they would have determined the class of the medal by having him jump over one log on the lowest grade, and 3 on the highest ;-) -
Hi, although officialy the "Boer Mauser" was in the majority... there were countless other rifles in use. Towards the end of the war, it was used less and less as ammunition became a problem. best Chris

Magic Dave! Thanks! I assume that after his basic training he joined the Feld Rekruten, the Alpenkorps was in Lothringen at the time.

It is indeed an unusually long time.........

Must cost a bit of money having 2 different sets of medals, one state, one active. Nice looking medals though, the Federal got could learn something there....
