I agree, James K. And that's what I saw on the rifle I looked at, as related in my original post-though, in reference to wachtellhund1's post, Model 88 rifles were also "heavily stamped" with the caliber (.358) but, to my recollection, without mention of the model number (at least in the speciman that I examined).
