Romanian M95

[DeV]

Did the M95 the Romanians used have any Romanian specific markings? Like the Romanian crown or a wreath. I know the Vz.24 the Romanians used have a wreath on the receiver, but I cannot find any info on the Romanian markings for the M95.

I also know there was a percentage made in Budapest, having a Budapest M.95 marking and the rest having a Steyr M.95 marking. Which one of these would have been more common to end up in the Romanians hands?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

The M95 were captured rifles if there were any markings they probably were very small, unlike the Vz-24 and M93 that were made for the Romanian army and were marked from the factory with Carol's cipher or the crown.

Ok, and which ones would be most likely to be used by the Romanian Army? The ones with Budapest or Steyr mark?

The question is a bit stupid, not even the Austro-Hungarians differentiated them so I don't know also I don't think anybody knows; but personally I prefer Steyr. Also theoretically Steyr was the most common as about 75% were made by them.

Maybe an even stupider question: did the Romanian ZB30's have any markings on em or were they also Romanian markless?

Actualy the ones made at CMC had markings on the left side above the pistol grip.
