I just picked up a Norinco 1897 trench gun. I am trying hard to find markings on it to tell me that it is a norinco but all I've found is a couple of matching numbers on the barrel and receiver and the reproduced "us" and "w 1897" stamps as well as the cartouche on the stock. I'm only curious because I looked at another 1897 cowboy model and on the solid side of the receiver it was stamped norinco and or made in china if memory serves. The only numbers I've found are "mil 95xx" if anyone knows about these guns apart from opinions on chinese guns I would appreciateit, thanks.
