I have a Mosin Nagant 91/30 built in 1942 what do the backwards 77 means to the numbers of the rifles. This rifle has all matching numbers except for the bayonet.

Serial Number of the Rifle
Re: Serial Number of the Rifle
If you could post a pic, perhaps we can help you.
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
C. S. Lewis
