Good to know.

Now I can see where this one is heading. The next request will be for the Names and history of service of all these 31 people, and for someone to spend a couple of hours providing that when you can research it for yourself is a bit too much to ask.
I think you're looking in the wrong direction. I was just looking for the number of inspectors, and possibly their initials so I could use it for a platform to do some research of my own. I haven't completely relied on you to answer my questions, only on ones I've had trouble searching when doing my own looking around. So no, I wasn't going to request that you give me all the names and services of the 31 people.

So, instead, I will provide you with a valuable lesson on research. You have to know where to find answers to questions such as you asked. If you are really interested and want to learn more on your subject, you have to obtain written, factual information, and this is a good time to start building a Library for yourself.
I figured this was a better place than any while doing some researching, to get some help on questions I couldn't easily find an answer to elsewhere? Didn't think it was that big of a deal.

The first Crown nearest the trigger guard is a Military Acceptance mark. The second one indicates the rifle was fired for accuracy (and zeroed with the front sight,) when accepted.
Rifles were inspected on a regular basis in Sweden, either by an Armoury such as Carl Gustafs (Crown C",) or a Tygstation (Inspection and Repair Depot or Workshop) such as Stockholm (Crown S), Tygstation A4 at Ostersund (Crown O) or others. There were eleven such Tygstations in Sweden. Each time a rifle was inspected, repaired or modified, it was stamped on the wrist if the repair/modification/inspection was of a major nature. An armourer could put a small punch mark on the trigger guard when a rifle was looked at for a minor problem.

Good to know. Thanks.
