Grandchuck:
Here is a result from a Tektronix Scope Evaluation board and a Siglent DS2202.  The board has a 4-bit counter with a risetime of around 2 nsec with some overshoot.

How was the probe's shield connected to the board's ground? A 6inch ground lead is a classic cause of overshoot.

Grandchuck:
Your guess is close ... it is a 5 inch lead.  They put the ground pad as far from TP1 as possible???
I included a shot from the manual that came with the board.

That's funny to even see one of these boards.   I picked up what appears to be the same one directly from Tektronix when I bought my first scope (Hitachi) back in the 80s.   I think they were giving these away back then as a promotion.   
 
Connecting from pin1 to pin4 using a LeCroy PP061 resistive probe with a pretty much dead battery,  scope measure 1.65ns without the big overshoot.  The BW is much higher than what you have available and there is no ringing.  I also suspect your connection from the board to the scope.

Have a look at https://entertaininghacks.wordpress.com/2015/04/23/scope-probe-accessory-improves-signal-fidelity/

As a quick test I would wrap a length of wire around the probe body, with a short straight spike to the gnd hole on the left. In other words, a variant of the "spiked spring" supplied with the probe.
