I picked it up face to face last Thursday. I'm not sure of the date of manufacture, but I know it is post 1940 due to the proof marks.

The bluing is 98% and the stock only has very minor handling marks. The bore is excellent. Metal surfaces in the white show zero tarnish. Unfortunately the bolt is mis-matched and the cleaning rod is missing. I hope to get it to the club soon to test it for accuracy.

I don't know anything about the rifle but I do like the looks of it

I think you need to buy a lottery ticket.

Nice- that should be a super fun gun. I find iron sights frustrating on paper, but plinking is awesome.

I have this Banner DSM 34. Some young european seems to have had some fun with the stock but actually I don't mind. It's a bit of history for sure, and primitive though it is, I can see what they were going for it I appreciate the effort. The metal is in excellent condition, matching- and it's one of those rifles that seems to hit more than it should, just kind of natural to point, feels right in the hands, squeeze and bingo, another hit.

I managed to get the KKW out to a 50 yard range. The photo below shows the results. After a few ranging shots the rifle did itself proud.
