Can anyone identify the maker of this drum. I bought it new back in the 1990s. It has no markings.
Thanks,Attached File

Looks Chinese to me. I had a 100 rounder back in the 90s and sold it.

I was thinking about listing them on EE. I've been told they were Norinco but they aren't marked. I bought these 30 rounders the same day. They are def China.Attached File

Last pic, one of the few times "made in China" marking is a good thing.

Bought in the 90s -  then that is chinese mil spec.  They just did not make, let alone import, all the commercial and questionable shit that is available today for AKs.  This is fact.

Certainly matches the marked Chinese 100 rounders for things like welds and such.

Plus until fairly recently, nobody except China made that style of drum where the back flips down.  Not sure that anyone except China made a 100 rd drum either at the time.

And if you bought it in the 90’s, it is most certainly Chinese, lots of their stuff was imported then, and the Euro surplus mags of any type were not imported until later.
