Okay, I’m finding next to nothing trying to search for information on these, so I figured I’d ask here. I looked one of these over recently and keep thinking back on it. All I could ascertain from the rifle itself was that it was prewar given the commercial proofing convention which included the powder type on the LR, I believe that was dropped in 1912. It also had an unusual circle proof/mark that had something in script font inside it, on both the receiver and bolt handle I believe. None of the parts or components were serialed outside of the BR/bolt I do believe. The manufacturer legend, DWM I believe?? was on the receiver side rail. I know pictures are always helpful, but I’m having trouble locating them in the 34k pictures on my phone. I’m hoping/assuming by the description that someone can deduce what I’m talking about. I’m trying to find out any info as to when, why, and possibly how many are thought to have been produced.
