I think it's just a SCW mark, and the rifles may've moved about the continent after that. Someone on here said it looked like a mark left from a vise. I think the Basque separatist connection, as mentioned on Ithilsdorf's SCW Mosin site, is a bit far-fetched.

This on a non import marked Steyr M88/90. Still haven't seen the mark on a Carcano or Vette
