What can you tell us about the 'double headed eagle' proof on the barrel of the OP's MS?




This eagle for primary proof was used only for a short time, from 1938 to 1940. After the "Anschluss" it replaced the single headed eagle with hammer and sickle in the claws, the symbol of the 1918 - 1938 Austrian republic. From 1940 to 45 the Vienna, Ferlach and Weipert proofhouses used the then new German proofmarks.




What is your best guess of when the original poster's rifle left the Steyr factory?

Would it likely have been 1939?
