You have a CMP Greek rifle. In 2001, the CMP re-imported 47,000 rifles that had been loaned to the Greeks in the 1950's and sold the rifles over the next several years to their individual patrons. While in service, the Greeks frequently overhauled and repaired the rifles to include such things as refinishing, re-barreling, serializing bolts and stocks, and re-assembling from mixed parts. You have one of those rifles.

Thank you John Beard. Remember what they sold for back then? did they differentiate for low serial numbers?
