The gun isn't made by Suhl. Suhl is the town it was made in. Suhl is also the traditional centre of German gun making and the location of the primary proof house in Germany. It's in what was East Germany and the fact that it was under Communist/Soviet control from the war until re-unification goes a long way to explaining the massive "re-organization" of the Suhl based gun trade that happened after WWII.

What is with the fake Russian accent?
Failed propaganda.
Thanks for the correction Canvasback.

So, who is officially a manufacturer-I can do very close pictures of stamps, if needed, if there is help finding actual "company" if such existed under DDR rule

I am Russian, so accent is not fake
Given that I am also a Canadian of Russian origin... well, yes, accent is really exaggerated
"failed propaganda" I have to (C) it

I just got back from Moscow and I've been living in the Russian speaking capital of Canada for 35 years....that is definitely NOT a fake accent!!

Please post clear pics of all stamps....barrel flats, ahead of the flats, any markings on top rib and any markings on the action flats.

I suppose it could be a Thalmann. But to be clear, having "Suhl" on the gun is equivalent to having "Birmingham", "London" or "Philadelphia" (That's a shout out for Fox fans) on a gun.

Maybe I missed it in the video but I didn't hear anyone say Thalmann. Only Suhl.

If it has Thalmann marked on the gun, it's made by Thalmann, a relatively well known German maker of well made lower and mid range guns.
