Keeper of the Def's Head
I looked really close. Nothing to be found. The only thing I could come up with is another 3, stamped at the very rear portion of the receiver. Does this also indicate Gusen production?
swjXE, tried my best re closeup of the Deaths Head stamp on the stock. Attached a few pictures showing it with different light positions used.
The “3” there matches known good examples, mine has a “2” there. Looks good to me! I’m a bit surprised it doesn’t have any even partial “Circled V7” on it but that’s Steyr for you, not always predictable.
Sent from my top secret official Bunker of the Order of the Def’s Hed.
