You boyfriend has a butterfly pasty? Cool! ;)

Seriously, I reckon on of the milsurf geeks will be along shortly. If can post a picture of it that might get things going quicker.

cheers.

I suspect the "butterfly" is a proof mark. Here is a PDF of European proof marks, see if any are familiar.

I bet when you Google "fabricade de armas ", one of the top hits was this forum discussing a similar rifle.

Welcome to the forum. Stick around.
