I remember seeing the same thing. The name GEHA comes to mind.

I've heard that the workmanship is not the greatest and that they are unsafe to use. If you were going to shoot one get it checked out by a good gunsmith first

GECO and GEHA to my recollection-a way for German arms industry to convert surplus rifles to cash-in terms of workmanship-I concur with comment above
