As a retired USMC 2112MOS (Master Armorer) and a Senior NCO as well- I saw several of these when attending the USMC Armorer's School at Quantico, VA. I forgot that Neider moved to Michigan around 1920- wasn't he settled in Dowagiac, same as master stockmaker Tom Shellhamer? You might contact the USMC base at Quantico and see what their museum has on the WW1 era weapons used by "Der Teuful Hunden" against the Hun in WW1`- We received the "Uncommon Valor Was A Common Virtue" from Adm. Nimitz a few years later, and against the Japs, not the Krauts, as in WW1- Humpers, pogies, snuffies- all the 10%ers who retire after the 4 years as senior Pfc's. Semper Fi!!
