This is a fancy grained walnut mannlicher stock chambered in .338 win mag. No checkering, inlay, engraving. Does have several proof marks and the barrel seems to be aftermarket ported at the end. The porting looks very professional but the reason I say afermarket is there are some slight indents in the wood where they might have attached a jig or something to drill the holes.

The question is what exactly am I looking at? I am not familiar with the name or have any clue on value. It is a mauser and looks like german or austrian proofs.

I also posted this over on TFL, any help would be appreciated, a search on Dumoulin turned up few results.

Thanks

Have you got any pictures? Here's a .pdf showing most of the common European proofs, to help nail down the country of manufacture:

Edit: it appears that Dumoulin is a custom gunmaker in the French-speaking area of Belgium, specifically near the Belgian town of Milmort (in the Herstal region); in French, "Dumoulin a Milmort" means "Dumoulin of Milmort". It should be a nice rifle, going by the other Dumoulins I've seen.

You can bet the house they're not going to be cheap (it's always a hint when they don't put prices on their web-page: http://www.dumoulin-herstal.com/index_en.htm ), but someone here with a Blue Book should be able to give you an idea of the current prices.
