Thanks Kuduae. I'm sure I could fudge the register, but it goes against my grain. My friends was told he couldn't register his Gevarm because no such gun exists! They're actually not that uncommon here either.

I'll ask the proof house again in the New Year, perhaps in German this time. But Helmut Srugger sounds very plausible.

With my Walter Roell rifle, a Mauser 98 in 5,6x61 SEvH, the proof house previously produced the original 1957 details with the same serial number on it. The name "Roll" was stamped below the stock line on the rifle action and my Mauser collectors book showed me he was head of sporting arms production at Mauser before 1945, so I guessed it would be him. He apparently continued to make up sporting Mauser's in his garden allotment where he had stored copious pre-war parts. It's a nice rifle, very subtle stock carving and accurate too. If there's a fire, it might be the first one I grab to save, if only because it would be hard to ever replace!

Thanks again.
