Karl, it is on the 1918 Spandau receiver sporterized into a 30-06. The barrel was dirty but looks essentially unfired. The barrel date is 1988 if my eyes are not tricking me.
Is that the place that put the barrel on the receiver?0 -
WOW i don't think a company would have enough SPANDAU receivers to sportize a bunch of them . if you look at first picture you can read BAY and second picture you can see ARD?2
BAYARD IS A BRAND / MAKER. OF FIRE-ARMS?2
EDIT OK I am really confused I thought you were asking about the Roll mark It looks to me the roll mark is on the receiver not the barrel in fact I don't see any pictures of just the barrel0 -
The Bayard stamp has nothing to do with the 30-06 barrel. 0 -
German (Prussian) state arsenal located in Spandau.Germany through WW-10 -
The knight on horseback, and the name "Bayard". Were trademarks used by a large Belgian firearms company. Their name in French, was Anciens Establissements Pieper.
My reference states that they went out of business, shortly after W W II. Likely they refurbished the G 98, after World War I. This was years before it was rebarreled, and D & T'd here in the States.0 -
