The postwar drilling was proofed in the Kiel (Eckernfoerde) proofhouse in 1961. The Bundesadler (Federal Republic Eagle) over N is the mark for Definitive Nitro Proof, if over an M it shows provisional black powder proof. Boehler Antinit is a type of stainless barrel steel made by the Firm Boehler. The "Supra" on the telescope is a brand owned by the Firm Nickel, if my memory is correct it was made in Wetzler. The chamber length is 2 3/4" which is the current American Standard, so there is no need to find 65mm shells. It will serve you well for many years, enjoy.

My memory was not correct, Nickel was made in Marburg, Hensoldt was made in Wetzler.
