Joe,

Thanks for letting me know about the C/C/U stamping. I have seen two Persian LP-08's in my travels without that left-side receiver stamping...I do not follow these that much...but those two worried me somewhat. Their farsi stampings had a totally vertical, up-right look to them as well.

Thanks, again !

Here are some more pictures of the Persian artillery posted on gunbroker.com

I am interested in what the experts think about the authenticity of this example.
