I'm surprised this hasn't been brought up here already. It seems a gentleman in Russia has put in a lot of time/effort and found out what some of the previously 'just another identified refurb mark' mean..
This has blown away some of the 'theories' that were out there - especially the DDR connection...
These marks were also used on SKS and SVT of course.Information
