I find them kinda sloppy, grey sea paint on the golden wreath, I often think one of the Schwerin painters was a bit of a drinker...

I tend to think this is among them. I spent about 10 years looking for one as my Wifes grandfather was on the ship at Narvik... Some of the dealers told me it never existed... finally I saw gordon had one for sale, in a nice used condition, perfect for me....

This was one of three of these to a narvik man. there was also one Schwerin. As he was issued three, I assume they were these pattern... I think the Schwerin was bought later.

Hi, The one side of the bolt is ground down so it cannot extract the cartirdges, the chamber is welded so no bullet can enter, and the barrel has holes bored in it.

I flew back with it as my second piece of luggage. Had a few folks puzzle over it at the airport on both sides... but in the end it was OK.
