The serial number is just the serial number. It’s not every day you come across a firearm made in West Germany and marked as such, since West Germany only existed as a political entity for only 41 years, and the Hk 91s and 93s were marked “Made in Germany”, while Hk94s were marked “Made in W Germany”.
Very cool, collectible pieces of history that also make great shooters in high volume at the range, have very high quality, extremely durable coatings and metallurgy for semi auto.
