Collector notes

The DSM 34 is the earlier standard German .22 training rifle with a military silhouette. It is typically single-shot. It sits beside the later KKW in a training-rifle collection. Identification rests on the single-shot action, the sportmodell markings, and the overall Mauser outline. Values track originality of the sight and whether the stock has been sanded. These rifles are historically important because they sit at the junction of sport shooting, pre-war training, and the later service rifle.
