We need manufacturer/date serial number & right receiver proofs (top/right/left receiver)- if there are any unusual markings or proofs that would also be of interest (dual manufactured/reworked rifles, & star marked receivers). If privacy is desired you can email me (or TP), also if you have some reason to keep the full serial number private, the first two digits & suffix will do, images preferred (especially for new highs) but not required. (It is very easy to misread certain letters.)

We are after serial numbers most especially- as the suffix is especially important I would like to “see” the suffix if there is any doubt to what it might be. Many times a rifle will have a altered receiver (SS service, some reworks have forced match numbers, sometimes foreign service will renumber the rifle) and these unfortunately can’t help. This an attempt to “develop” a database of observed Imperial German rifles, this would include Weimar reworked rifles, rifles that served in other countries (Spain & Turkey) & even sporterized rifles- the only thing that is required is the maker markings & serial number must be “original” to the rifle.
