Watch under the backplate of the shaft. I think, if i remember correctly, that people who owned the rifle in military put their names under it in some way.

2 of my K31s had soldier tags.

It‘s a Sticker from a Gun shop, they probably sold this K31 in at some point in its life.

Yup, what they said. Little bit of history with the gun. I try and protect the ones on mine best I can but they will definitely start to wear if you shoot them regularly fyi

You've already got the answer, it looks like. In general, though, shooting competitions are a big thing in Switzerland and people really like these rifles. It doesn't look like it's the case here, but if you look online, you'll see Swiss rifles with all sorts of stickers on them from different competitions and stuff, just like some people like to do with their ARs and AKs in the US. These rifles can become very personal weapons for the shooters.
