hi nononsense
well i took the rifle down again to try and get picts. the resolution i can post here does not show them so i will describe the best i can. edgar kiess suhl and caliber is stampted. the serrial #. beside that 87. the eagle with an n under it below that the eagle witha J under it below that 840 (wich acourding to 2mp should mean august 1940) below that an upside down heart with some lines in it. beside them are two fancy r's inside of a simple scroll. on the receiver ring right side anothe eagle with no letters under it right side serial # under the bolt handle inside the tight curve another plain eagle. no crowns i can see. hopefully this will help. if you would like me to send some better picts of the markings please email me at
