S/42 1940 dated with X marking

Edward Tinker · 07-30-2014, 05:13 PM

I have seen a number of russian capture that people told me came in with the batches and they had NO 'X" / I personally do not think that every one was marked - if so, what is the reason? If at a certain arsenal, than that would tell me that many arsenals - there should be different markings? If they were checking a percentage, then that is possible?

But I think, just like export and import stampings, some slip through
