Hey guys!

I’m new to lebels and have an opportunity to pick one up. My question is that this one is dated 1889 on the barrel, but has the M93 marking on the receiver. Was the m93 added once the bolt change was made.

Thank you sir. That is exactly what I needed to know. These guns are expensive, and I don’t want to make any mistakes. Do you see any other red flags in the limited number of pictures?
