Not a Mosin expert, but I think that may be a stylized Russian letter "P", for proof, normally they look like an upside-down "U", but the "Peter the Great" marked rifles are a bit more ornate, here is another Peter the Great rifle markings with the "P"(?) stamped more uniformly, auction is closed (I got outbidqz2026 wrote:![]()

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"?
