    As I recall, the Brits gave a bunch of No. 1 Mk III Lee-Enfields to the Czar in 1918. Not seeing any crescent moon proof marks though.
    Spelling and Grammar count!

    Did the picture post where you could see it? I’m the pic it looks more like a circle with like a hammer but in person it’s looks like the crescent moon with the hammer in the middle. I can’t see the picture in the thread..
