Default It is an "X"

Someone came forward with this theory...but it is BS in my estimation.


about 20% of them had this stamped somewhere when the big batch came in from the Ukraine a few years back..most are two stikes of a chisel and often they don't even cross..


It certainly is not the IMPERIAL crossed rifle stamp which was used [only, I am told] during the Czar's reign!
