Reverse of Dachau Script?

Bill,

Have you ever researched the information that is handwritten on the backsides of the Dachau script? It looks like names and numbers: could these be the names and numbers of the prisoners who redemed the script?

Also, any chance you could post photos of the other Dachau-related items you acquired with this carbine, i.e. the other weapons and insignia?

Neat gun with interesting history; thanks for sharing it with us.

Bill, has that one been converted to the M30 cartridge or is it in original caliber?

Some of the other Items were the bayonet for the Steyr carbine scabbard painted black, luger, CZ24..some black police bevo insignia, eastern people medals.. I have never researched the names on the back of the script...BILL

That is a nice piece and is a Hungarian Model 31M. They were the Hungarian reworks of the M95 produced in the 1930's. The H marking and front sight guard are dead giveaways.

These are among my favorite rifles. The straight back pull bolt makes this one of the fastest bolt actions ever made. I guess the action was not as strong as the M98 Mauser or all bolt actions would be straight pull.

I would love to see the bayonet as I never knew which was the correct bayonet for the M95 carbine.
