My Mosin Has some odd symbols next to the TULA mark

[Dieselenterprises]

Can any one help me identify the two marks/Symbols next to the Tula mark. I have looked around but have come up empty handed.

Are you talking of the "M" and "C" looking digits? If that's the case, you have the personal property of MC Hammer!


No, not really. I have never seen those marks before, but I can tell you they are most likely inpector's stamps.

LOL. Yes, those are the marks i was asking about. I just have not ran into those at all also.

We heard a story about the C shaped symbol being something that was seen in Serbia from an Ex-marine who served there. Whether I believe that or not is fast becoming doubtful but I will pass it on with reservations. Many marks on refurbs will like as not never be known and I think if we really did find them out they would be of little consequence or value to us. Bill

I have a 1934 Tula with those marks stamped on the right side of the receiver looking down from above. These are almost hidden by the stock. By using a really powerful magnifier, I found the "C" is really a "C" with a dot in the center of the arc and the other an "M" with a line through it. There are two other symbols, one looks like a roman numeral "III" and the other is a box with a smaller box inside of the larger box. I have had no luck in finding out what these symbols mean.

The symbol on the left looks like a refurbishment mark to me. Haven't seen the one on the right before. Another unknown...
