Hi lable,
i have a nearly compete list of German Codes. But the second pic is to small to see anything. Please send it again a bit bigger. The markings on the buttstock are looking like it was an RC ( Russian Captured ) rifle, except the German Eagle markings. Until later

the eagle over 77 on the buttstock indicates your stock is a Steyr Daimler Puch stock. it's an inspector stamp. the "H" means it was issued to Das Heer (the army).
the star is a Russian stamp so it's a Russian capture.
also, if the 42 is below the "ce" on the receiver, it's the year it was made.
Thanks for the replies. This is definitely a Russian Capture right down to the electro-pencil markings. The information helps a lot. Bore is in excellent condition and I'm going to purchase it. I'm looking forward to it arriving.
