Hello

If as Corrado says above the letters and numbers there is a cannon, the letters M A would correspond to! Artillery Museum ....

In this case it should - at least in German speaking countries - read "AM" and not "MA". "MA" would be possible in Italy, Spain or Fance

Dana,

This is a lovely and very interesting rifle!
When I saw the "screwless lock, I wondered if it pre-or post dated Henry
Nock's version.
I still don't know, as I see the lock is a replacement. It is very well done, and the rifle is high quality work.
Do you think the line we see in front of the lock plate was a "duffel cut" ?
By this I mean an arm brought back by a returning serviceman after the war? (Many were chopped to fit in a duffle -bag)
I find it a very delightful piece!
If there was any chance of seeing the lock internals, I would be very pleased to do so.
Congratulations, it is a wonderful piece!

Richard.

I'll take a closer look at that Richard.

It really doesn't look like the stock was ever "chopped to fit in a duffle"
