Schilling forge mark plus 4000 ATM stamp.
The value in the stamp of >> 2,4 g GPB over St.m.G.<< stamp seems odd?
>>The CROWN + crown/N proofmarks stand for Nitro proof using the special "4000 atm proof powder". This proof was used from 1894 to about 1923.
The rifle was proofed for the M88 8x57I sevice load of 2.75(2,67-image) g = 42.4gr GewehrBlaettchenpulver = (military-)rifle flake powder behind the 227 gr Stahlmantelgeschoss = steel jacket bullet.<<
This is what I would expect to see?
