I received a quick SAT call from my Marine son asking me to help him identify the country of origin of a weapon he picked up off a dead muj who will no longer need it.  He wasn't able to send me a picture, but said the symbol on the trunion was a "V".  I did some research and concluded that a triangle is usually Romanian, but might have missed the explanation for a "V"  They have been picking up a lot of Russian pieces in their area, but this is the first they encountered with a "V"  Does anyone have an idea on where it might have come from?

Never heard of that.  Is he in Afghanistan?  If so, could be Paki made.

Yes, Afghanistan.  I'll pass it on when he calls back.  Thank you, sir.

Maybe just a mis-stamped triangle? Also, please tell your son that we honor his service and sacrifice. I also think it's great the way you are staying in touch and supporting him. I would be very leery of a pick-up like that, trash any ammo found with it and have the armorer check it out before firing.

China, Russia, Romania and Iraq use a triangle as at least portion of their factory stamp.  The Czech republic crossed swords that looks like a V.

Maybe it's Paki-Made, does it have paki-tape?

No, no tape.  Thank you for the responses so far. I'm waiting to hear from him again.
