Mazar i Sharif mark.

[Dmitry]

Thanks for your educated reply. The perplexity for me, perhaps from not being well-versed in the realms of the Central Asian weapons, is that the pieces marked with "M-i-S" stamp are not pattern weapons, but a hodge-podge of various styles. Does that mean that the weapons stored in the Kabul arsenal were of all walks of life, without any standardization at all? How were they acquired?
