Serial Number ID

[PrimitiveHunter]

First off, hello! I'm new to this forum and am looking forward to learning about MILSURP rifles and ammo. I'll try to get my learning curve started with a question. Has anyone seen a Mosin 91/30 serial number like this? I know (or I THINK I know) that it's a Tula refurb but I haven't been able to find an example of a Mosin serial number with a - in it. Thanks for any light you can shed on this!

I've not seen it before, but if I had to guess, I'd say when it was stamped, the last 2 digits were stamped too far away from the rest of the number so the dash was added to highlight that the s/n is more than 3 digits.
