Added an A-Square to my collection w/ GERMAN Proof Mark ????

Hello All,

I just acquired an A-Square Hannibal in 416 Rigby. Always wanted an A-Square, but never had the opportunity to get one at the right price, until this one came along. Not only was the price very, very reasonable, it came with the following Up-Grades and Accessories;

"Upgraded Wood" - "Ebony Forend Tip" - "Deep Blue Metal" - "Quick Detachable Leopold Scope Base" - "3-Leaf Express Sights" - "Africase Leather Sling" - "RCBS Dies" - "70 Pieces Norma Brass" - "90 Barnes Bullets" - "30 Hornady Bullets" - 15 Hawk Bullets" - "1 Box Factory A-Square Ammo".

Although it seems a little "Clunky", I was surprised at the quality of the Stock & Metal workmanship. After all the critical comments that I've read over the years, it was a lot better than I had expected.

I'd sure like to hear from any A-Square owner that might have an original catalog or options sheet from back when these were being offered. Seems that hard data is scarce.

So - Here's my question to all of you A-Square Owners that know a heck-of-a-lot more about these than I do. Have you ever seen one with German Proof Marks on the Barrel? And do you know what it means?

Here are some photos.
