thank you very much, where are the proof marks on the rifle?

your rile is No.1866 made in 1950 that dated mine with No. 1940 at least behind this. we will see when it was made and this will give us a little impression about the amount of production.

this was the first rifle I have seen

an american soldier bought this in Vietnam from an old french master. looks like there is no serial number.

this 8x60Magunm looks like No.692 supporting my theory that all rifles in 3 different caliber forming a series

this 7x54 have no serial number in the left side

I believe that most of the 10,75 Mas are still in the hand of french ex colonial's in africa. one guy on gunboards told he have meet a french in 2006 in Ivory coast who had two of them.
