this is a truly beautiful rifle I would love to own. How is the bore and does it have a circled P behind the trigger guard and a cartouche on the left side of the stock?

Is it the light or is it nickled or chromed?

Congrats.


I'm relatively new with guns (this is my second buy ever) the bore seems good to me though. Is there a way to tell the condition of it without looking straight down the barrel? The rifle was spot on at 100 yards with my best 5 shots getting a 6" grouping with original iron sights and no bench rest. So I have to assume the rifling is somewhat good. There is a circled P under the trigger, what does that mean? The Cartouche is missing from the side of the gun. Perhaps I was wrong about the stock not being refinished  :-/

Also the light makes it seem brighter than it actually is. No chrome or nickel finish that I can tell.
