These "Gewehrfabrik Danzig" sporters are rather scarce, as they were made for a short time only. When WW1 ended November 1918, the German government arsenals, among them the Königlich Preussische Gewehrfabrik Danzig, tried to convert to civilian production, to save as many jobs as possible. Just as Remington did when they introduced their M30 series rifles, made on their Enfield P14 – M17 production line, the German factories made these sporting rifles. Additionally, the Gewehrfabrik Danzig offered some simple .22lr rifles. Apparently most of these “Gewehrfabrik Danzig” sporters were exported then, as they are very rare in Germany. Alas, in 1919 very few Germans had enough money to afford a new sporting rifle. After the so-called “Versailles Peace Treaty” came into force in 1920, the Danzig arms factory was dismantled by the allied disarmament commissions, as were the other government arsenals at Erfurt, Spandau and Amberg. So these “Gewehrfabrik Danzig” marked rifles were made during 1919 and a few months of 1920 only.
