Russian Reworks

Strider · 10-03-2003, 09:48 AM

I was wondering if all Russian reworks have a stamping on them indicating that they have been redone. If I remember correctly, the stamp used was that of crossed rifles. Please correct me if I am wrong about the type of stamp. My question is was there any specific place this stamp was to be placed? Or could this stamping appear anywhere? The reason for this question is I have found what appears to be crossed rifles stamped on the frame which is hidden by the side plate when full assembled. My Luger is a 1940 code 42. This location is what has me wondering about where the rework stamps were placed. Thanks for you help in answering this for me. I am sorry I do not have a digital camera to provide pictures. Thanks again everyone.
