I posted this question on another site, but perhaps there are some people here who know the answers.

I have 2 Jeffery Rifles that are stamped with the following address. Does anyone know the time period when Jeffery was located here, and therefore the time period of manufacture?

WJ Jeffery & Co Ltd, 9 Golden Square , Regent Str, London W1

Also have 2 Mauser Actions with the following stamp on the receiver. Can anyone tell me the manufacture era of the rilfes?

Deutsche Waffen und Munitions Fabriken - Berlin

And this address:

Deutsche Waffen und Mintions Fabriken – Oberndorf.

Also a Cogswell & Harrison with this address:

Cogswell & Harrison Ltd London, 168 Picadilly. Supplied by TJ Goldings (PVT) Ltd, Gatooma.

This one may be easy:

Made in Austria , Original Mannlicher Schonauer, Model 1950 9,3x62â€

presumably made in 1950?

Many thanks-

Ack!

Due to inopportune timing this post could have carried a negative connotation, so has been deleted.

Thanks Alf

I just this minute found the same dates for Jeffery by searching a new way in google. With the serial number, I suppose there are records floating around to show the date of manufacture?

Sounds like for the DWMs, they could fall in either of the two time periods, with the additional markings aiding better dentification?
