I´ve asked this once before (Collector´s forum), but some more information will be needed. These rifles were lent from the Army to the Civil Guards and marked with SS and serial number. SS-number has been on the right side of the barrel shank in most of the cases I´ve seen.
The question is: On what kind of rifles you have seen this marking?
I have it on:
1. Tikka m/91 heavy barrel
2. Westinghouse m/91
sako92s
Westinghouse m/91
Alsky
I have looked at my M91 length rifles and found the double SS serial # on two of them and they are:
1- M91 1926 Tikka
2- M91 1926 Tikka
Tuco
I have it on the following:
2 Tikka M91's dated 1926
2 M91-30's both 1930's dated and Russian made
3 US made M91's
Hammer
M91 1917 Remington, has two SS numbers with one lined out

I have a friend with a Sestroryetsk M91 marked with SS number in a Finn stock. It is also marked "Deutschland" on the receiver.

So, it seems that SS+number has been stamped mostly on m/91 rifles. Tuco´s m/91-30s are the only exception so far.
