I have a 1953 Tula SKS refurbished sometime at the 1st GRAU arsenal in present Ukrainian Balakleya (identified by a square with diagonal on the receiver cover) and then issued by Molot in 2014, the same year as your Izhevsk Molot. The white markings under the gas tube are shown. The meaning of white lettering on the barrel is as follows:
O П-CKC - охотничье-промысловый ("commercial hunting (carbine)) - SKS
B П- Вятско-Полянский машиностроительный завод «Молот»- Vyatsko-Polansky "Molot" machine work plant - symbol of the Molot plant
CIP/N- a mandatory proof mark for Russian export
ГИС - Государственная Испытательная Станция (State Proof Station) 14 which means "2014"
My Molot SKS is black coated but the magazine is blued. The stock and magazine are forced matched. This coat resembles parkerizing and is not like a "barbecue paint". It's surprisingly scratch resistant.
The Molot SKS's do not have any special collectors value. They are usually shooters. For that reason, I installed a Razor Scout Mount and a Bushnell TRS-25 red dot. With my aging eyes I can shoot now up to 100 yards without any problem.
