Sturm 7/163 ID

Hallo,

I found a marking "Sturm 7/163" on a rifle stock.
I assume it is the marking of an SA Sturm Banne ?
Could somebody please me more ?
thanks

SA Sturmbann (batallions) were indicated by Roman numerals. This is marked to the Sturm (company) 7 / of Standarte 163. What kind of rifle, make and perhaps serial number? Such info is being assembled for a very comprehensive book of German training rifles and will be a great help.

JoeW is correct, and I found there was a Standarte 163 ("Neumünster") in SA Group Nordmark, located in Rendsburg, part of Brigade 15 Westholstein.

Re-
Many many thanks for your help.
It is on a Simson 625 22Lr DSM type rifle - I posted a pic when I was looking for the bolt . The rifle # 111488 , the bolt is now a mismatch.
