    Those are the stamps, and the glare was washing it out in the original photos, that is much better, and I didn't even notice the second close up shot in your first photo spread.

    That is a 1960's Factory 26 built rifle that was the original Russianicon supervised factory in Jainshe. The three Chinese characters literally translate to Five-Six-Type, of course we know that is the Type-56 rifle designation.

    That looks like the example to have if you are collecting a Chinese military SKS, like might have been encountered during the Vietnam and other conflicts in the region. I was curious to see if it was a sheet metal receiver, but it looks like conventional milled unit.
