Hi Jim!

Great to hear from you, your reputation precedes you on this topic. Thank you for all the work you’ve put into this research, and especially for taking the time to respond to my post!

With respect to my carbine, this information was acquired with the direct help of your website and my markings are consistent with your research:

Top Rear Receiver: 282
Recoil Plate: L.P.W. (Landespolizei Württemberg)
L/H Side of Receiver: 0818
Bottom Trigger Housing: WB-LP-0818
Bottom Stock Grip: Stag-Horn (Württemberg)

I’m sorry I haven’t included pictures of these markings, I will be sure to post them sometime this week!

The rifle is still fairly new to me. I purchased it from a guy in Quebec who got it in an estate sale. I had no idea of this rifles history until it was in my possession and I started researching it. I’m certain now that he didn’t know what it was either. I’m told the rifle is in the same condition as when he purchased it, so I’m making an assumption that the sling and oiler got left behind in the estate (if they made it over seas at all).

I find it unlikely that the previous owner replaced the sling swivel so it was likely the owner prior to him, or perhaps earlier still. The history of the stock has been the most elusive for me but I think any of the theories above could hold merit. I’ll have to accept that I may never know.

Thanks again for taking the time, and I’ll be sure to post more pictures of the metal parts for all those interested.

Cheers!
Tyler
