Israeli Golan Proofs

[Locke1689]

Hi All,
I picked up a surplus KSN Golan 9mm. Seems cool with an oddball interesting past. I'm hoping someone can help me identify the proof mark. Located right side of the trigger guard. Thanks!

Not Hebrew. Looks like something with antlers.

I wonder if it isn't maybe South African from the transitional days from CZ99 to TZ99 to Golan?

I meant of the whole pistol. Other markings might help explain the one shown. It was a bit late and "boozy" when I posted that.

Good point.

I was wondering if it might not have clues showing a CZ or TZ connection too.

South African Springbok horns, the SABS (South African Bureau of Standards) proofmark.

Stay safe.

Looks like a good number made it to South Africa during apartheid.
