So far as I know, the only Sino SKS production that didn't have a factory stamp were the transitional models in the early sixties when The Chinese made a few changes such as bayonet style/switch from Cyrilic to Arabic serializing etc. and they weren't commercial variants but were likely intended for North Viet Nam.

But seeing is believing. I have one of the older models without the factory stamp but the serial number placement and font are completely different. Not that it makes much difference from an operational point of view but at least the CA rifles have threaded barrel tenons.

I have an early one with the blade bayonet and threaded barrel made on the Soviet tooling.Most accurate SKS I've shot.......Harold
 
Not sure if these are the same quality as the ones North Sylva brought in, for the most part, they were in rough shape and sold for as low as $229.. Tradex had them for $249.!

From what I hear, those rifles are rare as hen's teeth and command a high dollar from collectors. Does you rifle have the cyrilic serial numbers/letters???

Mine didn't. It was a commercial Chinese with blade from Milarm in 2001 and remember them saying they had very limited numbers. Should have kept it!

Yup, I had one of those as well. The rifles I'm commenting on were the early SKS units that were built in China under Soviet supervision. They used the same Cyrilic serialization that the Soviets were familiar with and once the Soviets were gone, they went to the Arabic numeral system and shortly after changed to cruciform bayonets. The early rifles made with cruciform bayonets didn't have factory ID stamps.

If you had one of the early 1950s SKS rifles procuced in China with a blade bayonet it would command a premium price. Likely the same would be true of the slightly later rifles without factory marks and the blade bayonets as well. These were not commercial variants.
