Recent acquisition, only tang marking is the number 8, the above markings on bottom of the reciever. Does anyone know if these identify the maker or date?
I don't have pic ability........What I am trying to describe is the number 26 in a small circleDoubtful. Maybe tell more from a good picture?
These markings are on an M39 converted from a 1940 dated VKT M91. The tang date showsRUssian Mosin? Finnish Mosin? too many variables but it may be a inspection stamp to a proof code stamping of some kind.
