Wow. I had this rifle in my hands just a little more than a week ago.This rifle was in Anthony's,the owner of Tradex, personal collection and he showed me this 9.3x62 and a 10.75x68 that he had decided to sell. It is a reworked military action. The lock screw holes were plugged but are still visible. A new bolt handle was welded on as attested to by the line at the bolt root and grinding marks on bolt body. Anthony and I both agreed that it was pre-war, most likely '20s vintage.
