I have a Century import 1937 Tula. Mine has 349 as well, but on the other side of the barrel, stamped in line. I can barely make out the 3, but the others are clear. Well with all these responses...I guess my 1937 Tula is not as rare as I thought it was.

I think this is a situation of the glass being half empty or half full, it depends on how you look at it. I breath a sigh of relief when I find other examples stamped the same why mine is, that way if it is the work of "Bubba" then all the examples have been Bubba-fied!

Regarding this 3-4-9 stamp I am particularly excited because the existence of these other examples would argue against my barrel being a replacement with another pistol's serial number stamped on it. And instead, I believe what I have is an original all-matching, non-refurbished 1937 Tula which is precisely what I have been looking for these past few years!!!

So true, I would draw the same conclusions as well.
