Question
I would like to know the brand or company of a very old rifle which is branded with an MW logo with a cross on top of it. Its serial number is 7594. I would thank any information tou could guvi me.

Answer
Need more info. Is it a cartridge or muzzleloading rifle? Is it bolt action? If so straight-pull (back) bolt action or the normal type? Any idea of caliber? The cross is commonly found on Swiss guns, is the cross inside a shield? Or is it stamped with numbers near it on different parts of the rifle?  Could the MW actually be DWM viewed from the other direction? Send answers will try to help. Thanks.
