I am researching Austrian and German sporting rifles that have a British military proof mark, of crossed pennants, as shown in the attached photos. So far this seems to have been applied to rifles in 6.5mm caliber and also bearing British commercial proof marks.
As yet I have not been able to find any written documentation that explains this British military proof mark, although I do have a few thoughts.
Has anyone else seen this marking on any other Austrian or German rifles? So far I have around half a dozen rifles noted, with this mark.
