I recently picked up a Mosin Nagant ex-Dragoon 91/30. It's a 1928 Izhevsk... Here is the original thread: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=232696 I say in that thread that it's a '27, but it's really a '28.
I have noticed quite a few markings on the rifle in different places. I've taken a number of pictures, and I have uploaded some that are fairly visible.
On the buttstock, there are:
a circled "Я"
a circled "Н"
a circled "М"
a circled "Ш"
a circled "Л"
an "H"
a square with a diagonal line through it (rearsenal mark)
a rectangle with "ДП" in it
two large "Б"s
a large "З"
a triangle with a "1" in it
and a "И" with the left side extending above it into a cross (or descending below, depending on how you look at it).
On the bottom of the stock, in front of the magazine (towards the muzzle), there is a stamped "Ф".
On the bolt, there is a "T" on the knob, a "TK"? in a circle on the bolt body, and an "X" in a diamond and a "И" in a circle on it. (there are a few other light marks I can't really make out)
Underneath the receiver, there is "ДЗ" stamped in it (right below the front screw hole). "УЕ" is stamped on the bottom of the barrel, below the sight block. And there is a "P" on the front sight.
There are a few other stamps, but I can't really make them out.
I've looked on 7.62x54r.net, and recognized the provisional black powder proof, the point of aim proof, and the accuracy proof. The ones I mentioned above and what is pictured, I'm not really sure of... Anyone recognize any?
