Karin,
Thank you so much for sharing this information; especially the scanned pictures. I have not before seen the 1st document announcing the Büscher Sportmodell K.d.F. The JGA Wehrsport Karabiner was their attempt to create a training rifle closer to the actual German service rifle, the K98-k. The official version was called the Klein Kaliber Wehrsportgewehr or KKW. I believe the firms of Mauser, Walther and BSW/Gustloff were the only officially approved companies to manufacture the KKW, so JGA created this knock-off.
Regarding BSW, they originally started off as the Simson company, but were taken over by the NSDAP along with so many other Jewish-owned companies. Later, BSW was merged with Gustloff. Prior to BSW's manufacture of the DSM-34 & the KKW, they were marketing their own line of training rifles known as the W625 series. These were the W625, W625A, W625B, W625C, W625L - all .22 caliber and the W625Z which was 4mm. Thanks again for the picture of the very rare W625Z rifle. Is this also from the Akah catalogue?
I must say, your researching skills are superb! I am going to forward this thread to some friends who are much more knowledgeable than I in these matters. Hopefully they will visit and add to the discussion. Thanks again....
