Stamps inside of inspectors mark box...

[jrapose]

Should I assume that this is a rebuild mark ? Other than the script P in the rear of the trigger guard all the stock has is a tiny B in the wrist area and the S at the end of the stock...

Are there any letters covering the 1908 numbers?

If the rest of the rifle shows no signs of being overhauled, it could just be initials from a previous owner.

Got any photos?
