.458 Steyr - Daimler - Puch

My friend has a Mannlicher in 458 which we are trying to find details and value on if anyone can help.
The rifle was made for his father with a left hand stock, he thinks it was 1968 as there is a 68 stamp on the barrel.
Then there is Steyr-Daimler- Puch AG on the left side of the reciever.
It has the safety behind the bolt similar to a double rifle

Steyr-Daimler-Puch existed between 1934-1938 and again between mid 1950's-1987.

So they made the Mannlicher Schounouer rifles ? They not two different rifles ?

Yes, it is the same company but they split up after 1987.
