Ed, Aaron: Thanks for the observations. The number on the barrel and the upper receiver (into which the barrel is screwed, whatever its proper name) are the same, but the picture doesn't make them appear so. Not that it matters much, I guess. Anyhow, in the process of looking closer and closer, I notice what appears to be a tiny eagle mark of some kind just ahead of the front toggle pin on the left side of the breech bolt. I will try to get a picture of it and the undersides of the grips. Meanwhile, could someone tell me what the proofmarks on the upper receiver are? I am guessing since there is no swastika, they must be imperial era? I guess that would make sense with the 1914 chamber date, huh?
