Wedgie:
I had a stunning Orion .500 Jeffery in my gunsafe for a short while, made on a Portuguese Mauser by Rassie Erasmus in South Africa in the '70s I believe. It was notable for the distinctive Blenheim sights, and the fact that the maker had the good sense to leave the perfectly-struck Portuguese crest and date intact, along with the marvelous row of large waffen-ampts down the left-hand side.
So often the history of the original action is ground away; certainly the case on most all vintage British sporters.
Also my .416 Taylor was built by Vic Pedersen in the late '80s on a totally cleaned-up Brno VZ-24 action, radius-ground receiver ring and left side of action filed clean of all maker's marks. It looks pretty darn good too!

Your project, your choice!

...although I personally can't equate any evils perpetrated by a bygone government with the historical hardware they left behind. We can't change history, nor can we deny it.
