It says steyr 1903 on the left hand side of the receiver but serial number is 1108f. Was it made in 03 or 08? Is there a website with a list of proofmarks? I also have 3 different numbers on the stock. Is this when it was refurbished at arsenals? Do the numbers represent years? Thanks for any help!! Eli

Actually the 1903 MS will have the date of manufacture on the side of the receiver rail. It would have 1903 under the Greek coat of arms on the receiver ring.

These are NOT very common to find un-bubba'ed
