Came across an old French Berthier that had some unusual markings on it. The rifle has all matching numbers. But it is obvious that the letters ARD was stamped on the rifle stock and then again on the receiver later after the rifle was marked with the serial number. Also other Berthiers are not marked like this. Does anyone know what ARD on later French Berthiers might mean.
