1929 Tula Bolt Handle Markings

Post by djbuck1 »

I have what appears to be a matching 1929 Tula Dragoon, no import mark, likely SCW with what may have been a blued bolt. Any idea what these markings are?

Looks like a Spanish exploding bomb. Never seen this before. Could be SCW but this would be the first matching example I've seen. The "W" is an interesting stamp too. Is it still in the pre war stock?

It appears to be. The stock is numbered to the rifle, with the numbers in the wood of the stock behind the trigger guard.

Belgian proof marks. The bolt body probably came from an 8mm conversion, a good number of those went to Spain. Ive seen a few SCW mosins still in 54R but having these bolt parts The bolt head would still be a standard one.
