Hello All,

The rifle finally arrived. I added updated pictures to the original post above. Could anyone please help with the proof marks? These are totally foreign to me and different than typically seen on other rifles. The serial number stamped on the bottom of the action is "10001". There is a number "1" on the bottom of the barrel ahead of the receiver, and also a number "1" on the bottom of the bolt handle. The metal butt plate has a Banner Mauser logo. By the way, the caliber is 8x57 .. not 7x57 as was listed in the auction description. Very disappointing. I wanted a 7x57 sporter, not an 8x57.
