OK so I posted pics of the SKS elsewhere but here is the Nagant. I was wrong it's 1932 not 1938. I have obscured part of the SN, I just don't feel comfortable posting that online...
All I have is indoor lighting and a camera phone handy to do this quick so here it is;
and the receiver pics, I brightened some up because they were quite dark in an attempt to show details...
Here are
There are cartouches in the recesses of the stock on both sides. Are any of those marks importer marks? I assume the "r" next to 1932 means it was refurbished at some point? Maybe? Also i didn't get a picture but as I look at it now the bolt as it is folded down and locked has some stamps on the top of the handle side.
Here is the bolt SN and mag bottom. You'll have to take my word for it that the numbers are the same. They are.
Here are the sides of the barrel on the end where exposed, I don't see any roll stamps there either...
As for the SKS this is one side of the front I posted in another thread;
and this is the other I just took
and this is the side of the receiver with the SN:
There are no marking on the top or back of the dust cover or the other side of the receiver. I don't think that is uncommon for the dust cover of a Yugo. This thing had the SN on the stock, the receiver, and I think it's electro-penciled on the bolt but thats about it for SN's.
So am I missing something on the Nagant? Which is BTW my oldest rifle currently. It gets cool points for me for just that even if I am not fond at all of the design if I am to be honest.
