Check our list on page 1.

Is yours a 5 digit serial number, or six digit. If five, we need some pictures.

Then the serial number should be inside the action where the bolt slides.

If so you have the new earliest 722 listed. What are the date code letters on the rear of the barrel? See page one for how to figure this out.

Then definitely pictures are in order. We can list yours as the earliest 722.
You need to post pictures to a host like Photobucket. Then copy and paste the [img]...[/img] in your text here.
Detail pictures of the calibre, model, and serial number would be great. You can tape out the last of the number.

Is the serial number inside the rail, or outside on this one?

722-B 222 2473XX K YY 5/52
The YY is poorly stamped, had to guess by serial number.

Only thing we can tell is the ZZ = 1953 and the serial number should be close to this one
3353xx 722-308 E ZZ 10/53.

However from your other post, does the serial number lie in the 1955 range? see page 1.

That would be interesting, indicating a later assembly, or perhaps a rebuild. Are there other stampings near the ZZ?

The serial number and the E ZZ fit together like a glove. See the list first page. I added a note for the L C. That is indicating a return to the factory and stamped again. I believe that is typical for factory work. Also there are more than usual proofs and inspection marks on the other side.
