IMHO the "10 grm" bullet weight marking only shows that the rifle was proofed for the then, 1920s, high pressure load. The 1940 RWS handbook shows the 1893 traditinal load, 173gr at 2320 fps, at 2800 atm, while the 10 grm = 154 gr pointed bullet at 2635 fps produced 3400 atm. Rifling twist for 7mm bullets at that time was pretty much standardized at 220 mm = 8.7".

Things are just grand. Duck & dove season is all but upon us and were going to see what the Boys Ellenburg can do. Last year the GWs caught up with us and I all but received a demerit for my oldest shooting a 9mm Flobert at a Killdeer instead of a dove. Anyway thanks for the effort and it substantiates what I thought with the Sl. Hate to trouble you but can you get an image of the Sl and the Fleur de lis, pineapple or whatever is below it.
Glad to hear the brood is taking in their fathers footsteps.
I will be in a position to provide better pictures at the end of the week. At that time I will use the camera vs the phone and believe the picture will be of better quality.
