Thanks szihn. The gunsmith I spoke to about it wanted to hot blue it. I just thought I should add some of the stamps on the gun. On the left side of the ring it has 2.5g G.B.R and below that St.M.G. Another thread mentioned GBR means the load with Gewehr Blattchen Pulver (military flake powder)? What would St.M.G stand for? On the barrel just ahead of the ring FLUID STEEL KRUPP ESSEN is engraved. J.P. Sauer & Son, Suhl, Prussia is on the matted full length rib. 8 m.m. is on the left side of the barrel. I haven't taken off the stock yet to check the proof marks. It has what looks to be an ivory insert in the front sight. It has one fixed sight marked 80 and one folding leaf marked 175. The bolt shroud and safety ect. appears to be case hardened, does that sound right? It has some basic engraving on the barrel wedge and screw heads. Would this be one of the Schoverling, Daly and Gales rifles imported to New York mentioned in Jeff Stephens articles? Were these guns fairly common? I don't recall seeing one in Canada before. Were there different grades? Thanks again for the help.

Bob
