Thought This Was Pretty Cool.

I ordered some oil bottles for some projects of mine.  They are all what I think to be Czech AK/VZ 58 oil rifle bottles.  One of the bags however had some Russian ones in it and they had the Izhmash arrow and triangle stamped in them.

 

Anyway I thought that was pretty interesting because I've never seen an oil bottle with that stamped in it.

Be careful, anything Izhmash could be banned by executive order.

On a more serious note, pretty cool piece of cold war gear!

Nifty! All mine are packed up somewhere, I'll have to dig them out one of these days and see if I have anything out of the ordinary.

Prior to the merger did Izmash machine plant use the triangle and arrow? 
I thought it was only used at the Izhevsk machine plant.

I think both use the same triangle and arrow.
