You don't see any proofmarks on your rifle, no wonder at all. The proofmarks are usually on the barrel reinforce of Mannlicher – Schoenauers. As your photo shows, there is obviously a ring soldered around that area, covering any such marks. Your rifle was once mounted with a scope, that ring holding the front base.

Shouldn't the proof house number indicating the year of proof (and sequence within) have been stamped on both barrel reinforce and on the receiver as with the 411 . 08 on this example?
