Typical of bring back guns, this gun has NO import mark. The bolt body is unnumbered but it bears the correct "I" mark and well as the receiver. The marks “I”, “i” or “1” stands for Elite Diamant or Astra-Werke Chemnitz which were Gustloff subcontractors for parts. Front barrel band and bayonet lug are also marked with the “1” mark. The cleaning rod and rear sight spring have what appears to be the “i” mark as well.
The barrel and both barrel bands have matching numbers. The bolt shroud, safety and extractor are Waffenamt. The trigger guard has a "d" mark, a subcontractor of Gustloff. Floor plate is not original to gun.
