Buttplate Signature: Can You Identify?
I have a Guild Mauser made August of 1924, the 16th rifle from that shop.

I found a signature under the buttplate, which looks like compressed leather.

Can anyone help me identify this? Or point me in a direction of someone who can?

Thanks.

If you take the image back to Photoshop and adjust both your sharpness and contrast the signature should become more easily seen.
