    no markings at all. I was guessing romanian but that was just a guess. I am trying to figure out what they are worth. any idea on value?????????

    Look closely; sometimes the markings are small and stamped into the spine and can be hard to see. But it really doesn't matter whether they're Romanian, Bulgarian, East German, Hungarian, Polish or Russian - they all work, and they all sell for about the same money (assuming there are no rare/collector pieces in your stash)... say $10-15 apiece.

    They are for sure eastern bloc...they are not Chinese as they have no rib,and by the finish I am guessing not Russian either as there mags are blued(mostly).So from here if I would have to guess I would say either Romanian or Polish. 10-17 each maybe.

    Yeah, I'm bringing a couple of those great american made ones to get rid of at the AR build tomorrow. :): These here look Romanian to me. But that don't matter either way if the work .

    Are you asking if they are usable as 922r compliance parts, or are you just curious?
