Original Item: Only One Available. It was very unusual for Imperial Germany to copy anybody’s else’s weapon design, but that is exactly what this item appears to be. Marked J. K. over serial number 27405., this appears to copy very closely the Remington MK.III, made between 1915 and 1918. It has the “spur” style trigger, the same shaped grip, and is about the same size. The main difference is the German version has an all steel frame as opposed to the brass used by REMINGTON.
No finish remaining, in fact although now fully cleaned one rather suspects this spending nearly 100 years in someone’s barn. The metalwork has pitting overall and firing pin has been removed long ago. Complete with wooden bag grips and a lanyard loop, this is the only example we have seen of this German Model based on the Remington design.
Still dry fires, however the ejector no longer functions, and the firing pin is missing. Ready to display.
