strange marking dot 43

Sauer,
I hope this helps. This is from the wrist of a Mosin-Nagant 91/30 stock, and the rest of the rifle shows the other, typical indications of German rework. There are actually two Kru 1 stamps on it, the other is below the one in the photo. Since they were stamped in a high contact area, they are faint.
Best,
Pat

EDIT: I don't know why my photos are showing up sideways, sorry. They are aligned properly on the screen and when viewing them on my laptop.

Thanks Pat. It must be something specific to a time or section or Kru inspector as none of my Kru rifles have the "J" mark that I can recall.
 
Hi Ham,
Those all sound like good possibilities. I have a Lebel R35 that is Kru 1 marked that doesn't have anything like that, either. It's just my 91/30 that has the 'J' stamp.

Best,
Pat
