Re: Fraser Mystery

Kuduae, you have demonstrated your knowledge countless times here on NE.com. I would be reluctant to dispute anything you say.
I do believe in the case at hand - Huvius' Fraser single shot, that if it had been rebarreled or rechambered to a nitro round there would be some indication of this, either by stating the charge and type of powder, or otherwise. However, one thing is certain: as soon as I think I'm sure of something it proves to be wrong.

BTW, original commercial Oberndorf Mauser rifles of pre-WW1 days are also lacking both the crown/G (rifled)and the crown/N (Nitro) stamps. Simply there were no M98 sporting rifles not rifled or not made for smokeless loads.
On that theory I wonder why commercial Luger pistols display the "B U G" proofs pre-1912 and the "Crown over N" proof after? The same logic should apply. I ask this out of pure curiosity and not in an effort to discredit your statement.
