Is this simply a mis-struck "29.XI.1943" or was there a different "Republic Day" recognized at some point in time? Reiche kommen und Reiche gehen; alles das, der überlebt, sind MAUSER Gewehre.

I'd say it was just the result of a worn or damaged stamp. Diplomacy is the art of saying nice doggie until you can find a rock. Will Rogers

I must note that I think this is perhaps the crudest crest I have yet seen. That however is in keeping with my (as yet unproven) theory that the TRZ.5's were early done rifles.

(I have been remiss on this.) This one is courtesy of "Jimmy C at Gunboards.com" This is on a Bosnian "sniper" ("Bosnian" by the Fleur dis Lis carved in the stock) What caught my interest was that there appears to be some sort of staff or somesuch that if not drilled I expect would be supporting the star. Anybody else have one like this (minus the hole preferably... $:\$ )" Thanks jimmy ! Here's a couple more long since granted me but forgotten to post ere now. Courtesy USrifle, from his 24/47 Courtesy NotPC, his 24/52C Thanks loads guys! Diplomacy is the art of saying nice doggie until you can find a rock. Will Rogers

The 5 torch crest was standard post WWII crest up until 1963, I think it was. The details for this are in here somewhere. Anyhow our muasers will only have the 5 torch crests. TR137 is a repair shop whose location is unknown. It is one of the less commonly found shop marks. Sorry but that's all I know. Again, welcome.

Let's see if we can compile a collection of crests. Maybe we can establish a reference. *Please provide a pic with model and* armory markings.** Here are pictures I have gathered from various sources - M48 and M48a(b) only. Some of these are doubtless duplicates of what you have, but it's easier for me to upload them as a group than sort them. I'll upload M48 in this post, and 48a in a subsequent post M48:

My crest looks very similar to ATH's and on the side of the rifle the markings are in a very nice looking cursive/italic font and it says M24/27 T.R.L.5 I'll see if my pops can figure out the camera when he gets home and I'll post pics then.

I would have thought that for a military rifle it would have just been some plain jane font stamped on there. And here is the best picture of the crest I have, aparently I took it right when I got my rifle and didn't remember it 'till now

I haven't heard those names in a rather long time. Btw, Did you post earlier as "Ath"? The crests look identical. Anyway, that engraving is standard for the TRZ.5 shop. There was an earlier version in block font but I have only seen two of those I think. The crests on them were crude but formed very like yours. You didn't say but is that on a 24/47? So far, I believe I have only seen that version crest on mod98 reworks. Frankly, I'm going to have to refer to my records to give more detail and unfortunately, it'll be some days before I have free time enough to do. But this may be fairly significant to my study. But in any case I would call this an early, 1947, reworked rifle. Im going to check my controls and see if I can bounce this into the forum proper for more exposure.

Thank you for the reply Nothernug. No I did not post earlier as ATH but I too noticed how similar our crests are; and yes this rifle is a M24/47.

M48A is the other way around.
