I have just come into possession of this German drilling. Based on my research so far, I think it might be an East German Suhl gun from the 1950's, but am not sure because the barrels are stamped "Nitro" which I thought was a pre-WWII practice. Not sure about the caliber of the rifle barrel, as it appears to be 8.8mm stamped on the barrel, not what I've found typically in my research so far. The barrel is marked "O.G. Scherell - Berlin W." but also "Suhl". And somebody has put a U.S. Marble rear sight on it! Any help in identifying a manufacturer and dating this piece would be deeply appreciated!
