In short the restocking is better than the original and this is apparent.

M. Dorleac is entitled to his "quoted" opinions as to the methodology employed in the barrel address markings however my judgement stands.

The QS stamp is apparent in later Jeffrey models incl PD Farkies as barrel steels improved and in particular Krupps "flusstahl" and pommy equivalents were employed to redress the issue of steel suitability and so marked. And as to the issue of "M. Lenord" might I refer you to the Winfer series on falling blocks?

4seventy,
Yes, the hood simply slips off from the upright position. Must be easy to lose judging by the number of Jeffs missing them...

I need to look at more Jeff bolt guns, but I don't think I have seen one with the rear bridge taken down on the left (bolt release) side like this one has. Not sure if that serves any real purpose.

Also, regardless of what Dorleac says, the address is rolled on which was clearly common on Jeffery rifles of any grade.

EDIT: Upon closer looking, the address on this gun looks to be much deeper than on my 333 Jeffery which has an original finish, so I think mine is about as deep as the day it was struck.
There also looks to be a "stippled" texture in the bottoms of the characters.
Perhaps the stamping was chased with an engraver at some point

Marvelous restoration work!

Very true! About one of the nastiest things I've see was in Speeds mauser book. A .500 jeffery "restored" with an american style stock, and the offending parties name engraved on the front reciever ring.

This jeffery is done right.
