whitworth markings

[charger]

My whitworth 458 WM is marked as in pic. I assume this means imported by the virginia armory. What does this do or not do to value?

I cannot read the marking on the left receiver rail, but Interarms of Alexandria VA was the main importer. The Whitworth is the big bore "dresser" model of the Yugoslavian Mk X Mauser. I cannot see how importer's marks on a standard sporting rifle would affect the dollar value one way or the other. Unless I have missed out on a collectors market for such.
