"Clambered" in 9.3 x 62 with double set triggers, it'll be commercial. Might be some guy(might be H. Keller) who sportered it. Got a picture of the whole thing?
Highly unlikely to be any kind of German sporter made in 1943. Herr Krupp's place was flat or very close to it, by then.
"...back through the proof house..." If it's been rechambered to .257 Roberts, it'd be reproofed.
Herr Krupp was the company that built all kinds of stuff for the German military since the Middle Ages. They first got rich by making rail road wheels. Their factories in Essen were why The Ruhr was so important during W.W. II.
The Arms of Krupp by William Manchester is an excellent read. $5 to $10 on Amazon.
