Hey, I found a little tag under the buttplate of my K31, what does it mean?
The tags were identification tags, place there by the soldiers who carried the rifles. The standard format for the tags is: Top Line: Name (last,first) & year of birth Middle Line: Unit designation Bottom Line: Place of Residence However, many variations exist. See my K31 Tags Page for more info. Q. What about the “P” below the serial number. The “P” stands for “PRIVAT” It was stamped on the rifle when it was given to the retiring soldier.
