Your rifle was made for Foerster in the early 1920s by the well known gunmaker Richard Schüler / Schueler, Roschstr.13, Suhl. Schüler built the rifle on an action left over from the 1915 -17 decentralised Gewehr 98 military production, as usual during the interwar years. The receiver was delivered to Suhl in WW1 by Siemens & Halske who had the machinery to make this most complicated part, other than all the Suhl gunmakers. The barrel was made by the Klett barrelmakers in Suhl. The rifle was nitro proofed by the Suhl proofhouse for the standard 9.3x62 load, an 18 gramm = 285 gr Steel jacketed bullet at 2330 fps. Much later, post-WW2 someone altered the bolthandle and installed a Dayton - Traister trigger.

I am not seeing 9.3x62 - just 9mm 62.

My Oberndorf is marked 9.3 62mm on the bl.
