I found it in an amazing old Russian encyclopedia and can not find any information on them.

Crop the image down to the symbol only, and upload it.

Then copy the URL and do a google "search by image".

I'm on mobile or I'd do it.

I dug around some old books of mine and still can not find anything. Come on basement dwellers. Use those internet skills and help me out

Judging by the other images next to it, it might be an arsenal inspector's stamp or carteusche <spelling? > of some sort.

The book is arguably better translated as "firearm reference guide."

The question you ask is an odd one, as you would seem to have probably the best reference to answer your question right in front of you.

Are there no captions or descriptions on his pages?

We are going to need to see the whole page to figure out the context

the one beside it is British

a wild stab would be something Gurkha

do you own something with this mark or is this random?

The book is not actually in my possession currently. I have asked the lady to go through the book and find any reference and has come up with nothing.

And there is no description or any thing to help on the page.
