Greetings,

I am new to the colecting of Swiss Rifles and have not been more impressed by the accuracy of my k31. I now have 2 k-31's a beech and a walnut. I just purchased a beautiful 1911 (hence the prior request for a sling) but I have a question regarding the name tags found under both K-31's. How do you decipher them? I can figure the name but what about the rest?

Here is one: Mort Ernst 27
Fus. Stabskp. 71
Maus ZH


Thanks for any help.

Rick

Stabskompanie are in fact two abbreviations in one.

Great Info

Thanks Guisan,

Thank you for the great info. I love these Swiss rifles and look forward to collecting more. Next in line will be a K1911.

Well...

..some corrections there;

Wfm. = Waffenmechaniker = Armourer.
Sch. = Schwere = Heavy.
IV = 4
186 = Territorial Battalion number (based in the Canton of Zürich)

(and it's not a Swede K31 )
