Hello all,

I recently picked up this M38 and despite all my researching I am failing to find what the "Я" on the side of the stock means. Also, on the receiver, below the Soviet crest there is a blocked out C or maybe a light strike box that I have not seen either. Any help would be appreciated. The stock has been sanded by a previous owner and I plan to restore it with some Russianicon shellac.
