Hello,
Thanks for the help.
The gun I have looks identical to the Herman-Historica
Picture.It has the same style sling and stock with sling swivels instead of the groove in the buttstock.The difference with the auction arms gun is that this one has no sling groove and the barrel markings do not have the BSM or the words Suhl.It just has the MOD.625
Circle with a triangle in the center and the letter S in the center of the triangle
This is across the barrel also the bolt is matching #s and has what appears to be 3 pyramids and an S stamped on the bolt.I am going to take it apart tonight for any other ID.I am leaning towards an early Simson Model ????
I will keep you posted if I find out any more.This is what makes collecting
interesting.I just finished researching a neat Kriegsmodel Kar 98K that is listed on Gunbroker
It was fun to learn the history behind it.
