Quote:
Got the rifle home today, no stampings that I can discern origin, however in barrel channel written in pencil is Pal Kowetz 1945, and the number 5127 , the one and seven in distinct german script.
Begs the question, Jewish gunmaker in Germany making a sporting rifle in 1945?
Any help?
Pal Kowetz 1945 written in pencil sounds like the name of the american GI who send the rifle over the pond
