I have a Norinco SKS with a serial number that starts with DB. My question is are these military models or commercial? Thanks in advance for your help.

I'd need some more stamping identifications...but this may hold up:

Factory codes have numbers in triangles, rectangles, ovals,and diamonds. also found are a few letter codes like TO DB DP these are all Military production.

Thanks for the replies. It doesn't have the triangle. I'll try to get a picture tonight and upload it.

Here is the serial number and an import stamp. Didn't really find any other markings. I researched a link that said the chinese symbol means Brigade. It seems this may be the military model but I have no idea what year it was made.
