DSM 1934 GECO
Just lookin' for an approximate value for when I put it on the auction. just need some kinda' clue as to what reserve to put on it. It isn't my cuppa' java. I look for Lugers, P38s and PPKs.
A DSM 1934 with serial number 3469 on the side of the action and what I presume is a factory mistake, a bolt with the number 3459 on it. The Germans of the period tried to be 'perfekt' but that didn't always happen.
It has the sling, in good condition, the cleaning rod and a hinged muzzle cap, made by Simson. there is a hairline crack in the handguard. Other than that, the wood is all in good shape. The screws on the various parts of the rifle are unturned/unmessed with.
Here is some other information that I gleaned, without any indication of prices...
This rifle was assembled at/by Haenel FOR Genschow, prior to Geco getting tooled up to make their own DSMs at Spandau. Its serial number is thus from the same range as are those on DSMs marked "Waffenstadt Suhl" on the receiver, which was for the consortium that made DSMs in that city. If you were to remove the trigger housing, you would see the "double S" mark for J.P.Sauer, who made the receivers for that consortium. The lead firm was Gebr?der Rempt, and the assembly point was C.G.Haenel, as noted.
The muzzle cap has come from a Simson gun, and likely was "swapped" inadvertently during a cleaning session, or ? whenever.
That's it. That's all I've got.
Thanx in advance,
Tim
