I would venture to guess the "e flues" on the lug and the chamber markings on the side of the chamber area to be original as it was originally imported and marked by Emil when he received the imported action/barrels in the white or similar situation.
As stated above a lot of EF attributed guns are very continental in design and are probably made of at least some imported parts in the white.
The scratchings on top of the chambers are just that, scratchings.
Would be good to see if there are any proof marks left...looks like something just forward of the flats on the rib?
Just tossing that out there, if I am right I would like to see the gun, if there is one that they were fitted to?
Walt, 410 last gun before he died, this could be interesting...or very much so not:)
Best,
Mark
