Well, my '36 Tula is coming along nicely. I got everything cleaned and I like to paint everywhere they stamped it, along the way. After cleaning the paint off, I noticed there wasn't a hammer and sickle Crest stamp on it anywhere. So, I checked all my other mosins and realized that this one, was the only one that didn't have have it. I'm not for sure that this means anything. But does it? Without it, the arsenal mark is the only identifying stamp on it. Also, The arrow inside my star only has one side of feathers. I thought this, to be a bad strike, but the star is perfect as is the arrow itself... just would like some info, if this is some oddity or just a missed Quality check. thanks.
