Got this one at a militaria and arms fair today:
She is Izhevsk produced, dated 1929. It's in a pretty rusty/dirty condition, but I just had to have it. I am not sure what it was, but I really liked the look and feel of it and I knew right then I had to have her, plus it didn't cost that much(About 80 $). It will be a nice little restoration project for me to work on.
Markings: I have read that the red painted marking might be a North Korean military unit marking, if anybody has any idea what it might be, I will love you for it:
The bolt has unfortunately been cut(Some sort of extra deactivation?) so whenever it slides back, it slides completely out:
Rust/dirt on barrel, I managed to remove a lot of it with some WD40 and a piece of cloth:
