RoscoeTurner Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Thought this may be of interest to some of you. First is a chart of various country markings found on the PPSH. The second shows Soviet manufacturer markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

83Baron Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 Ive seen a Ppsh with a little horse head symbol on the receiver. Has anyone seen that before and/or can shed some light on its origin? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

83Baron Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 No thats it. Just an interesting stamp that Ive googled but come up empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoscoeTurner Posted January 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 No thats it. Just an interesting stamp that Ive googled but come up empty. Thanks. I did send it to a friend of mine in St. Petersburg who is a collector and writer, he was not familiar with the marking. He was asking for additional photos in an attempt to narrow the search down.

StrangeRanger Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) Any chance that this is an importer's mark? I have a very similar marking on the barrel of a Siamese Mauser which was re-barreled in .45-70. I believe it was done by Navy Arms. Here's the barrel marking. Similar but not the same Edited January 19, 2022 by StrangeRanger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83Baron Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 I will see what I can dig up but as far as I know it appears in that one location only. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83Baron Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 Good point, and maybe thats what it is. Thank you Roscoe and SR for checking into it. Any chance that this is an importer's mark?

RoscoeTurner Posted January 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 This German document showing how the MP717( r ) receiver would be marked is interesting. I have seen one PPSh so marked in all my years of collecting unfortunately it was not for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland the Thompsongunner Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 A friend had one years ago but not sure if his was marked like that or not. I do have an original magazine adapter but that is all I ever found. Always wondered how the barrels looked and how they were marked? Thanks for the above info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoscoeTurner Posted January 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 The D in the above document was used to mark PPSHs reissued in their original caliber with the designation of MP717 ( r ). MP41( r ) was the designation for one converted to 9mm. How those were marked I have yet to find out but I am working on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the above info Any chance I could impose on you for as many pictures of the original as possible.....and perhaps even the loan so I can make accurate measurements. I intend to reproduce these and would like to make them as accurately as possible. All I have been able to inspect have been reproductions. if not tied to a gun and if you are interested....I'd love to discuss a purchase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
