Epyptian markings

[KYGunz]

I have three Egyptian rifles and they all have the same markind on them. The Rashid , Hakim and pre 94 Maadi have a funny looking penciled on or stamped on symbol. looks sorta like a flower or something. The maadi has it right in front of the Mag well. The rashid and hakim mags have it to. Any clues?

Most of my Maadi's have the Maadi Military and Civilian Industries Company logo on the bottom, between the well and the handguard. It is the stylized picture of the Pharoah heddress, with a 54 stamped across it, for Factory "54" set up by the Russian in the 1950's.

I bet that is the head dress thing then, thanx. Mine don't have any 54s though.
