Default X mark

True, Kyrie...and, I should have said that my comments pertain only to the P38. But the X on the guns from the former USSR is generaly made with two strikes of a chisel and not a letter stamp...readily recognized as such. sometimes, they don't even cross!


The latest 'PLOY' is that the sellers are referring to it as a 'CAPTURE MARK' [whatever that means?]
