I bought this 1924 CCCP serial number range 15xxx mainly for the front sight and thinking it wasn't heavily refurbed. The cylinder face is confusing, as is the rest. It seems to have a lot of hammer Tula parts. Any seasoned opinions on this? Standard refurb? Earlier refurb? Here come a couple sets of poor pictures.

Cylinder is a replacement, probably prewar. It is renumbered, but old (pre 1929) in that it has a hammer OTK mark.
Many of these were repaired during the war and don't show refurb marks, but sometimes have repair marks. The '2' by the AC mark on the right side is not original and may be a repair acceptance mark.
What is the shape of the knurling on the hammer (straight or 'V' shaped)?

Joe, thanks for the reply. I am guessing this is what you meant - V?

The 'X' on the right side of the frame is a depot level repair mark. The 'E' on the left side of the frame by the hammer is unknown, but not original. Needless to say the 1929-1930 cylinder pin is a replacement.

Copy and Thank you! So reasonably a 1930 or so repaired revolver? Why no later refurb marks? Could this have been used elsewhere (Finland, SCW, ?). It is a CAÍ - but I had assumed regular refurb. My luck in early Nagants is lacking... Would you recommend replacing the lanyard loop or leaving this as is?
