Ive been able to determine the arrow on the cocking knob is Sestroretsk, the mag is Chatellerault, the trigger is Tula, the bolt handle is early Ishevsk, and the marking on the tang may be the left side of the early Ishevsk arrow. However this could be just nothing and it would seem there would be some remnants of a date if this was the case. I want to believe that due the fact that the rust pitting on both the mag and the receiver appear to be about the same age, that they were likely on the rifle for around the same time frame. Together with the fact there doesn't appear to be a date stamp on the tang I am wanting believe this is a Chatellerault receiver.
