The "presentation" model I linked to is also a three lug action with a very high serial number (mid-70,000's as I recall) for a three lug. I'll bet yours is also somewhere above the 50,000 range. The signatures, if that's what they are, remain a mystery.Here are a couple pictures - it is a 3 lug gun
Your rifle was shipped as a single item to Impecco (the importer name used by Garcia). Shipments to Garcia (Impecco) usually were of at least several dozen guns at a time, so this indicates to me that it was some kind of special order. Interestingly, it shows to have been shipped on June 29, 1972, which is the day before it was inspected according to the hang tag. But its shipping date is just a ditto from the line above and the next shipment of similar rifles was in August, so whoever recorded its shipping probably simply didn't get the date right.Stone The serial is 59037
Since the record keeping requirements for manufacturers and distributors got a lot stronger with the 1968 GCA, my guess is that the records for both Garcia and Stoeger Sakos are stored somewhere and would be a gold mine of information if we could access them. Wouldn't it be great to know what retailer that Garcia shipped your rifle to? You then might trace down its background.It is good to hear it probanly was a special order, just wish could determine initial owner.
