    It looks like my image wont work. However I will try my best to explain what I got. My SKS does not have any triangle by the serial number nor does it have any Chinese symbols. it does appear to have HALF a triangle. It got 2 sides of the triangle, and looks like they were just barely about to make the 3rd side of the triangle. but this is almost a little over an inch to the left of the serial number. My number is 11454. All matching numbers.

    China did make some "cleanskin" SKS for ( covert) export, usually with the Marking "M22" or similar, and a Non-year related Serial Number. They are usually of the Early construction design ( full wood stocks, all Milled construction, screwed-in Barrels (not Pinned) and most with early (Ruski style) Blade Bayonets. And usually they are in "Worn" Condition.

    Some good accessible Photos would be appreciated.

Then select the location of the photo you want to upload and it will add it into your reply. You have tried to link directly to an image on your computers 'C' drive which we can't see.
