Isn't the [P69] in the rectangle a rearsenal mark?

That was my understanding too based on the two similar markings on my 49/56. I would like a 49 but IMO he is misrepresenting the rifle by saying it is not rebuilt. I also can't tell a thing from his pictures after the first one. Too dark. Don't even know if the starting bid price is even in the ballpark let alone what the reserve is.
