No, I'm not convinced of anything. I was only speculating based on the look of the butt and cheekpiece. Perhaps if it's at the next show one of us can look more closely. I haven't had enough experience with Jaegers, especially the early ones. I would assume though the owner would have told me if it was so marked. I was hoping maybe someone would have had a picture of an early Jaeger Krag conversion to compare. Oh, it also had a ventilated recoil pad. Sorry I don't have more info, annoys me also.
