Dreibund was the name originally given to the Triple Alliance formed between Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy between 1882 and the First World War ; however there followed a further triple alliance between Germany, Japan and Italy prior to the Second World War in 1939. Dreibund is literally a bund (union) of drei (three). Jugend Karabiner translates from German as "Youth Carbine".

This training rifle dates from the latter period, when such arms were usually intended for use by the young members of the Hitler Youth organisation .
