Congratulations on your very nice rifle, Mike. I also own a Mannlicher Schoenauer M 1908 that displays only British proof marks and no Austrian one at all; maybe should we consider this as normal for that period?

Bonjour Louis,
I am wondering if it is possible that the Steyr action parts and barrel were brought into England as separate unproved parts and then assembled into a complete rifle? This could account for no proof marks other than British, and only a few Austrian production inspection marks.
