Marked not for "S" 8X57

[Robert]

Robert,
Go back to Axel's first posting, toward the end, he said the marking is scarce, I said I only ever saw it on guns proofed after 1939 proof law. I don't know what a noob is, but it seems to me that the reason for asking questions is to learn. Before long you will be answering someone else's questions.

Robert,
Keep asking about things you don't understand, and you won't be a "noob" long.
