Well, I was wrong on both accounts but I had remembered that Hannover wasn't in operation in 1952. But it opened in 1953 accepting small calibre rifles as well as Flobert types, proving in a limited capacity. Then on April 21st, 1955 in coordination with The State Institute for Physics & Technology in Braunschweig, a more extensive group of arms was allowed. It had/has the mark of the rampant Saxon horse.
