I posted this a year or 2 back, w/o any definitive answer. In 2005 I received a Greek return SG HRA 5651XXX. The rifle was very nice except for the stock, which was a little rough. But on closer inspection it has a very (very) faint SA-GAW; also the small ord wheel on the bottom of the wrist and serifed P proof. Was pretty excited because this was my first m1 to come with a WWII cartouche, albeit not correct for the rifle. Now for the weird part, there is another stamp on the rifle that I have never heard a mention of. It is on the left side of the stock just above the butt plate...a very small oval (approx 3/8") with poss. 2 words in it. Naturally there is a ding on one of them. Anyone seen this before or, as has been suggested, that it may be something an individual punched on to ID the rifle? TIA- Mike
