Thanks Ted for shedding some light on the mysterious marks, stars, bunnies, etc. I knew that Charlin had several owners, In fact saw an actual stock certificate for Charlin several years ago somwwhere, maybe Ebay. The mystery continues and as you say probably will continues due to destruction of documents. Many German guns face the same fate. As a retired academic, I know the frustrations of attempting primary source research. It is tough sledding. Kindest regards, and again thanks Ted. Dr, Dozier sends
