New Acquisition

Its hard to tell whether or not the property stamp has "halo", which would indicate whether it was stamped through the existing finish or stamped and then refinished. Maybe we can hope for a more determinative photo.

My own take on the application of the mark itself is that it is most analogous to Russian or East German markings, indicating that the gun has been 'appropriated' to another organization.
