Re: Peterlongo

Igorrock, thank you for the translation; I think that 'coroncina' also means 'crown' in Italian.

Bopi, while waiting for your photos (you may trip to use www.picr.de to upload them), the markings and proof marks you mentioned may be the following ones:
- 'Coroncina' (crown) + 'N' underneath: German pre-1950 smokeless powder proof.
- '6,5x57': caliber
- 'Grupp Laufiahld' may be 'Krupp Laufstahl': barrel made of Krupp steel.
- 'St.m.G' 10gr': Stahlmantel Geschoss 10 gr' - Rifle proofed with 10 grams steel jacketed bullet; post-1912 marking according to some sources.
- 'B' & 'U' - 'B': 'Beschuss' (proof load fired) & 'U': 'Untersuchung' (inspected for defects).
No Austrian proof marks but only pre-WW2 German ones. Is '10635' your stutzen's serial number?

Regards.

Louis
