Title: German marked Norwegian?
Post by The Old Coach on Jul 23rd, 2011 at 2:03am
I've had a sporterized 6.5mm Norwegian for some years now.  Cleaning it last night I spied a faint marking, which under high magnification proves to be without doubt the German wartime eagle/swastika.   What do I have ?   Did the Germans appropriate existing rifles and stamp them?  I've read that they tried to keep the factory going, but that sabotage and non-cooperation limited the production, and that the few that did get shipped were poorly made.   This does not look like one of those.  It is a well made specimen.
