Maksim 1,504 Posted September 22, 2010 wow. Great story on that one. Only thing it is missing is being an Ex Dragoon fighting in the Spanish civil war. =) currently have a discussion of what the MO marks mean on a russian firearms forum... as MO is absolutely not "Ministerstvo Oborovno", er Ministry of Defense, as well, it didnt exist back then. Common belief it was marked for "Moscowskaya Oblast", meaning Moscow Region. In either case... great piece! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maksim 1,504 Posted September 23, 2010 Ted, unless you speak and read Russian... it is futile. =) Furthermore, google will not give an accurate translation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
