I have been looking at the various postings and references on Russian Lugers and am having trouble understanding what model of rifle is being shown on the chamber?

On many examples there appears to be a short stocked rifle with a gas chamber much like a SKS or AK. To the best of my knowledge (which is limited) no such guns ever existed. I know there are fakes out there; do you believe the artist who created the roll die did not know what rifles of that period looked like or is the opposite true and that the artist of today is getting confused?

Thanks

Vern
