    Help with a few ppsh-41 markings

    Hi everyone.
    I have a demilled ppsh41, and it has a few markings that i dont know what means. The two marks in the first picture are below the serial number.
    Here a picture of it:



    And in the next picture there are three markings in the central-low of the image (with a "4" in a middle).

    I don't think they are Russian. Probably stamped by the company which deactivated the gun.

      The Markings in Question look to be manufacturing marks due to their font, Date on the first Picture and their depth

      Although, I do not know the meanings of the markings apart from the one showing the Date of Production, Serial Number.

      I would suspect that 'AB' Might be the plants 'Name' or Identifier though.
      Having a close up and front on image of the Markings in question for the second picture might help as well.
      And would pay to ask on RedAlliance forums as well, their more active that here for Soviet stuff

        cossack, the mark stamped in the center of the second photo its the Köln proof mark (it means that it was deactivated in Germany).
        The markings i have trouble to recognize are the three symbols of the second photo and the two ones of the first photo below the serial number.
        Thanks wolve, i'll give it a try in that forum.

          I see. Three symbols on the side on the second photo look to be Russian manufacture quality marks. I have similar on my SVT40. Maybe assebly proofs. Letters AB on the first photo between date and serial number are part of the serial and denote series. Sort of like letter blocks in Geman weapons.

            cossack, Have your SVT40 this two marks of the first photo i posted? I draw it for more accuracy...


            I think the first symbol its de Artel "Primus" factory proofmark, Leningrad. The second "appears" a refurbishment mark to me.
