Looks like the Germans were putting a captured Sherman Tank through some trials. Maybe testing to see what machine guns did against a Sherman and used the star as a point of aim?

Hi Lawrence. I had an early one dated 1943 - no cutts compensator. Butt and grips were composite. Later on these were adapted to a SMLE style bayonet. A light, handy weapon that I turned over to a museum in hopes it would be on view for everyone. This is one iten I regret passing on. John
