Büsum belonged to Wehrkreis X (Hamburg) In Wehrkreis X we had: Landesschützen-Regiment 105 https://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Gliederungen/LandschtzReg/LandschtzReg105-R.htm Landesschützen-Regiment 106 https://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Gliederungen/LandschtzReg/LandschtzReg106-R.htm...

Looks like soldiers of a regular Landesschützen Bataillon. Each military district (Wehrkreis) has established several such battalions. Usually the Landesschützen Bataillone were used as guards for prisoner of war camps, important transportation hubs, bridges etc. At the beginning of the war...

A report concerning the accuracy of sniper rifles from WaPrüf 2, dated 31 March 1945 confirms this. The report was written by colonel and department chief Haidlen and was intended for Himmler's chief adjutant. (SS-Obersturmbannführer Werner Grothmann) ...... Higher precision can only be...

Maybe I'm getting old and blind, but I can not make out any modification to the cutout. ??? Can you please point out. Interestingly I found a photo showing a Danzig 1917 rifle with Voigtländer bases that show a similarily swept back bolt.

From my very limited observations on matching rigs I tend to say: Gerard B3x But this is nothing more than an educated guess. A guess. For German WWI sniper scopes, there are about 70 scope/ring variations known. And you'll never know what shows up tomorrow.

BTW: the rings on your OIGEE scope were made by HWZ = Hermann Weihrauch Zella-Mehlis. Well known for WWI mounts and the WWII Short Side Rail mount.

The cutout looks good for a Busch rifle. Why and when the bolt was bent backwards, .... ??? No idea. But not factory original. There are only very few factory original, matching rigs known out there.

Rings always have matching numbers to the scope. The rings on your OIGEE scope (I finally found the photos) are original OIGEE rings. Please note that the rear ring was moved backwards to fit the Busch bases. Busch rings rings look totally different. Attached photos show Busch scope cases...

Only the Busch company had the push button on the rear base and a base with saddle on the receiver.

Bases are for a Emil Busch 2 3/4 scope I can not find any photos showing an OIGEE scope. .... ??

Rifle and bases are very nice! But the scope ….. :mad: Typical junk from Spielauer. The Model B OIGEE Luxor 3x scope is a very late war scope or more likely a post war assembled scope. The engraving is not period original. The rings are not correct for an OIGEE scope, but rather for a Gerard...

There is nothing more complicated than the history of the Imperial German Pioneer Units. The stamp is for the 1st Reserve Pioneer Company of the XIX Army Corps. But this unit existed only on paper. While its weapons, equipment, etc. were stored somewhere, the unit itself was never raised during...

Sorry, but I have to disagree! A K98b is nothing more or less than a postwar manufactured Radfahrergewehr with a new designation. It has nothing to do with a G98M

More likely RZfH 1942/13 see: https://www.k98kforum.com/threads/frog-marking.19879/#post-134062

I have never heard that name either. I know of only three snipers who have been awarded the KC Hetzenauer M. Preiß J. Pein F.

1250 is the area code for the district of Königgrätz. Wheras I agree that 0011 most likely is RME, I do not agree that RME is not a code. 1) I did not find a leather factory with the RME initials in the Königgrätz district. 2) Some codes beginning with "R" where introduced in 1944. (rbl, rco...

The last name as well might be Sedlaczek. Really hard to read.

This is partly a really bad handwriting! Kan. Otto Sedlerczek 4. Schwere-Flak- Ausbildungs- Abt. 62 .....?? Oldenburg in Oldenburg 1942 http://www.ww2.dk/ground/flak/abt/ers62.html
