Not immediately, I'd guess...Geo

I'm told the folks in the helo were laughing their heads off watching it unfold.

Well, about all I can tender for now is that the tube effort was by a W mechanic. I can't make out the other marks on the underside of the left tube. Again, the S in a Chevron is in an odd location. I for one just don't see any Suhl proofmarks. So it must have been cobbled together by a mechanic who had access to a stash of Simson components at the end of WWII. But I still contend that either Edgar Strempel, Otto Reif or both were involved.

Cheers,

There's an Edgar Strempel example on Gunbroker and they are asking $10k. I hope they get it by I am doubtful. The Craftsmanship is there but the cult following just isn't for a relatively unknown German Mechanic that hung out his gunmaking shingle in 1920. Difficult to read the Post WWII datecode.

>>By coincidence one of the few true H.Goering rifles surfaced just a few hours ago: It is also a 7x75R vHSE, already well documented from the making in Suhl end. This one apparently solves the mystery of the "Epl; Stuttgart" who ordered the first batch of cartridges from DWM. The Goering rifle was ordered to be made by Edgar Strempel, Suhl through Robert Eblen, a gunmaker/dealer at Lange Str., Stuttgart to be presented to H.Goering by a Mr.Truchsess.<< Mr. Truchsess was a wealthy chocolatier......

So this may be the other Vom Hofe that wasn't made by Chr. Funk?
