Product Description

c.1936 MAUSER Deutsches SPORTMODELL .22 LR Single Shot TRAINING Rifle C&R 

DSM-34 German K98 TRAINING Rifle

Here we present a German Mauser Deutsches “Sportmodell” Single Shot Training Rifle in .22 LR, made circa 1938 in Oberndorf, Germany. The DSM, or Deutsches SportModell, became one of the most common of the German “training” rifles leading into World War II. Modeled after the K98, this training rifle has an inverted “V” front sight and a tangent rear sight graduated from 25 to 200. The top of the barrel is marked “Deutches Sportmodell”.

Mauser was one of many companies sub-contracting for the production of these allegedly sporting rifles. The German Government after the First World War was officially restricted to the production of only sporting arms, as military weapon manufacture was more or less forbidden by the Allies. Some years on, the sporting rifles came to bear more than a passing resemblance to the old German service rifles. This new miniature caliber Mauser rifle became known as the DSM-34, by virtue of the ” Deutsche Sportmodell” designation and the 1934 year of introduction. The DSM became one of the most common of the German “training” rifles, and as was the 1939 following design KKW rifle (Klein Kaliber – Wehrsportgewehr), was modeled loosely upon the Gewehr 98 rifle genre. The DSM could not be fixed with a bayonet, but the immediately pre-World War II design KKW was so enabled.

The overall condition is good. Strong action. Bright bore. This example is duffle cut at the wrist and crudely reattached. “To Mike/From Roy/12-25-45” is hand carved into the bottom of the buttstock. Legible markings. Numbers match.
