Can you see any boxes with number "11" which are often seen on Polish weapons?
Except for the Polish inspection markings on some of the parts there are no Polish (11) markings, but then again most small polish markings also don't have the (11) markings. Here is a link to a previous discussion on this rifle, Post # 22 shows both types of Polish refurbed PU's, with the 1st one being a spot on duplicate of mine.
