Here is a Mauser Broomhandle that dates to the late 1930’s.  I’ve had it a few years but never shot it.  The shoulder stock, I believe, is a reproduction.

 

The left side says in Chinese “Made In Germany”.  The right side shows a few Chinese characters that I was told translate to “fourth group”.  (I posted this marking along with some characters on a cotton cloth name tag/badge in an attempt to get it translated.. sorry for a double post).

 

Also shown is a Chinese picture book that appears to outline their efforts during the war.

Nice.  Rich A. in Pa.

Thanks, Rich.

 

I’d like to see about getting the Chinese characters translated.  Right now I have a few CCP items displayed with it.. the characters could be Nationalist China KMT.
