    Hi guys, a couple of years ago I brought a DP-28 lmg from Ryton Arms (UK). The one I recieved was dated 1941 and had a manufacturers mark on the reciever (which looked like an arrow in a bullet head). Does anyone know where these machine-guns were manufactured? I cant find any info on the internet :confused:.

    Thanks for the help.

    Many were certainly manufactured at the Degtyarev Factory in Kovrov ; Russia's first dedicated machine gun plant.
