Looks like a 1918 tula receiver. Remington was a circled r, yours looms to have the small tula hammer above the date.

+1 & she looks good too! Let us know how she shoots! I have a feeling you've just picked up what will be your favorite Mosin!

The stampings on the bolt body are crazy! Beautiful rifle!

Now you've done it Oldman. You've opened Pandora's box. Congratulations. It is a very eye appealing rifle.

Very nice! Any shots of the rifle overall?

What were the specific questions about the markings? Looks like a Sako, Sako marking is the gear. Values on any M39 are $350 and up now.

Question for the experts. In the first picture of the second set of pictures on the receiver under the crest is a stamp that looks like an infinity mark with open ends. This space is usually reserved for the "пк" proof commission stamp. This is only the second time I have seen (maybe "noticed") this mark. Does anyone know what it means? I've only seen this on Imperial receivers. Perhaps a proof that was pre "пк"?

I thought those were just double "X's", that I have seen on a bunch of receivers that have that stamping above it. I figured they were a part of the stamp of the eagle? I've also seen where the top of the receiver was milled to remove the imperial markings, leaving behind small partial "X's".

They could very well be two script "x's" although I have examples of a perfectly round interior, but I don't think they are part of the crest. Hummm, what would "XX" stand for...

I knew that, might have been 1 too many beers while I was cleaning and drooling over my first M39 It looks like a Peter the great stamp on receiver but can't figure the mark under it.
