Definitely refurbished, German, you can even see traces of the Nazi waffenampt.
euh is the manufactures code.
Guns have only two enemies, rust and politicians.


I am still looking for ANY information regarding the European Use of the Original Costons flares from 1859 through 1881. Photo's, Patents, contracts & orders, ANY INFORMATION IS NEEDED ! !

OP, I would suggest removing the paint. Even if the original finish is a bit rusty, it would be preferable to the paint. Just my opinion.

Nice early number however, out of over a quarter million made by this manufacturer.
