thank you for taking the time to explain the origins of this rifle-essentially an old re bored
barrel on a post-war modern receiver, unproofed, with lots of engraving.
i examined the receiver carefully and only found a small mark on the right side just above the front screw. it looks like a small circle with a backwards s in the circle.
i sent an image to rothhammer, which includes the pistol grip cap. the backwards s in a circle is also shown in one of the above pictures
sincerely

Schwärzel in Höfen ( Monschau / Eifel ) was a riflemaker , who als made rifles for Eduard Kettner .
His reputation was not very high.
Sometimes he worked with proofhouse in Belgium .
