New (to me) BYF 42 and I have some questions

I'd bet a dollar that it is an import marking... Too late made to be a pre-WW2 export marking, so most likely an importer marking.

A clear picture or 3 would help.

That's exactly what I thought too- but the font is too big though, and there is actually what looks like an accent mark over the "A". The gun is all matching, including the magazine, everyone else that has seen it doesn't think it's an import mark either. I'm trying to figure out how to resize pics on this Mac so I can post them.
