Hello all,
Just received another beauty from Intersurplus. 1939 proof date. It has a feature I've not seen or heard of with these German guns and Mr Google gives me nothing: it has a tiny spring loaded pin for each barrel that serves as a loaded chamber indicator. They look like tiny firing pins and contact the shell rim at about 7 o'clock on the left barrel and 5 o'clock on the right. I should mention that this gun is also marked as a Walter Borg, Stockholm so exported to their shop at some point. This gun does not have cocking indicators which most of them do. Has anyone seen this before? I'm thinking maybe Sweden had some weirda$# rules about chamber indicators so the guns exported there were fitted with them. I even found a few images of the BSW pre-war catalog and no sign of these pins. Any thoughts?
Thx
