fine and correct collector guns
unfortunately many of this drillings in europe lost the bad eagle+swastika after the war because they were seen as hunting rifles. nobody think then about the collector value of this gun.

I imagine having Swastikas on your gun would neither have been popular, nor welcome, and perhaps even dangerous in the post WW2 period.

I would guess most of these intact ones were souvenired by Allied soldiers.
