I just acquired a Lyman GPR in .54 caliber. Nice looking, all metal is blued steel. Says Lyman Midddletown Conn. stamped top of barrel. Stamped made in Italy with a ser. # a557xxx. Great Plaines Rifle .54 on other side of barrel. Only thing I don't understand is there are no proof marks at all and no year code. There is a large square with a capitol I in it. Anybody know bout these things?

The "I" in the square is the InvestArms logo. They made the rifle for Lyman. Your rifle is probably a kit, which did not require Italian proofing. Thus no date code.
thanks Grenadier. Probably never figure out the age but it looks unused, maybe never shot.
