So I picked up this Browning today. It's a .30-06 bolt action. Hinged floor plate with engraving, nice iron sights, 3 position side safety, nice trigger, crossbolted stock with engraved cross bolt heads. It's old, I can tell that much, but I can't find a model number or anything on it. It's marked Browning Arms Company, Made In Belgium on the barrel. The receiver and barrel are marked 9L and then what I guess is the serial number, the serial number is also imprinted in the barrel channel in the stock. Would the 9L be the model? Any help with age or model designation would be appreciated.
