    Identify Stock/metal marking on my Underwood Carbine?

    Rebuild Underwood that has the below marking in the sling opening. It is refinished but would like input on the mark if possible. There are no import marks on the gun but there are some numbers stamped on the left side of the receiver, the bolt has no makers mark I can find but has a letter s and number 6 or is it 9 S?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    Looks like it's a 'Bavarian' - a reimported carbine that was issued to various police and border guards units in Germanyicon and Austriaicon after WWII.

    Thank you. I thought that as well but there are no bavarian stampings in the receiver like most I have seen and there are no import marks on the gun

    Bolt is a Standard Products.

    Slingwell marking is The stamp of the Bundesministerium der Verteidigung.

    See your stamp here:
    Strange Stamp

    The receiver number looks to have been stamped by the Bavarians.
