Russian SKS Extractor Serial Number

[pcke2000]

How often did you see non-refurb (or at least those appear to be non-refurb) examples with all original matching serialized parts except for exactor?

Did you check to see if the serial number is electro-penciled on the inside of extractor? On my 2 early 50's,  EM 717 is only engraved on the inside and on my ИМ 3 the whole serial number is on the inside and only the 3 is on the outside.

Thank you. Yes, I am well aware that early extractors may have serial ep'ed inside.

I was talking about the situation where extractor is ep'ed with a completely different serial.
