I dont see a clear mark on the sites
It's not a marking, but a fit condition.

Dragoons were the same length as 91/30s, so once they are refurbed to the later standard, if it's a rifle made in the years when both dragoons and 91/30s were being produced, there's not a whole lot of ways to tell in which configuration it was originally built. Your rifle was made at Tula in 1932, and it's generally believed that they produced both types that year.

About the only way to tell in that case is that an ex-dragoon will have a gap between the sight base and the barrel at the rear (dragoons were an earlier variant and used a different sight, and when a 91/30 sight base was fitted at refurb it left a gap).
