Dear Sirs,
I could tell in this respect and re . same discussion with this picture from 08.20011
that I checked in information books I have and also at some Russian sites that Geno was right at this gun was produced at soviet - socialist time . I have information that this T at triangle and circle partly around T was stamped after 1928 year .Also I did not read all massages at this two topics but if Geno told that quality of this guns had large fluctuation I could agree with at according information I have from this sources .
Also you could read and translate with help of any internet translator programm article re. Tula short guns here -http://www.gunshow.ru/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=70
And also some products in former Soviet Union were not so bad .
I have bought 8 years ago IZh26 was produced appr.1970 year and it is not so bad .it have not balance as top models of hand makers but for the real hunting is reliable good quality sxs.
I bought it as to feel real side-by-side in hands.
best regards
Gregoriy
