Thanks SixBears, I can't find how to put the guatle mark on top of the letters.

65 is even etched onto all of the screws and written on the stock, so it had to mean a serial number as well as chamber length. The V is most definatly a V. It has the classic line on top of each line forming the V like a Roman Numeral type V. It is hard to see in the picture but not in hand, however there could be a square around it, but it is hard to see.

The symbol is also definatly a soldier, and not a bird. It is easier to see in person than on the photo. Very hard to take pictures of it.

It does not have damascus barrels.

Thanks for the comments, hopefully I will be able to narrow it down to a time period it was built.
