    adamrl1,

    Well, I can only say that "SAdNSDAP" screams NAZI Party. There is a Gustloff-Werke rifle on auction, right now. Is this one like yours?:

    http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=141440379

    Also, this Q&A gives some info on a similar-sounding rifle:

    http://en.allexperts.com/q/Guns-Firearms-Projectile-1501/2009/2/German-22-cal-Rifle.htm

    That article says that "K.K. Wehrsportgewehl" designates a training rifle. It also states:

    "As far as the SAd.NSDAP, this is the designation for the Nazi paramilitary organization called the "Brown Shirts" or Sturmabteilung or "Stormtroopers"."

    I am certain that someone else can give you more help. Please, stand by...

    Yes, it is the same rifle. Mine doesent have the gloss finish. The only thing that is missing is the metal clasp at the front of the stock clamping to the barrel.

    Looking closer the stock was cut short. About 2" of stock left after the strap hold down.
