"On investigation there are 2 companies with the same name, that used the same code N76 : TEMPERED SPRINGS. One in NSW and one in MANCHESTER. It does NOT look like and aussie refurb marking? ALSO A mark on the receiver that is a: C on top of a 2, inside a circle. Again this does not fit with any CANADIAN proof stamps i have seen."
