Hello
buckstix,
very many thanks. Saw the images over at the NE-forum. This is the first barrel with the "double-K" markings dated before 1925 I have seen (I assume the marking "10.7/21" is a date stamp). It is helpful as I may shed some of the people I have listed as possible contenders for the marking, but at the same time it also broadens the field of research quite considerably. I have a long list of people that occupied themselves with various barrel work that I keep updating, but so far I have chosen not to include anyone with titles such as gunsmith and master gunsmith. The marking AGS is slightly confusing. It is not to my knowledge a marking for August Schueler, Suhl. Are there any other/proper proof marks present? The other marking that comes with the steel type is present in this thread. I have only seen it with the steel-type marking so maybe something to do with Krupp.

If I find anything I will let you know but I would not hold my breath if I were you. I will look for an answer, though.
EDIT: as the forum apparently does not accept apostrophes I have edited the post. The forum is worse than my grammar teacher at school. I expect a discussion forum not to require formal writing. I am clearly in the wrong. Also: I have never seen a date marking that looks like the one on buckstix rifle.
