Definitely Izhmash plum mags. They're fairly common in terms of quantities imported. Many or even most probably came in through Bulgaria, as it's not uncommon to find them with Bulgarian brown internal replacement parts. The Russian plums ORF is selling at $89.95/4pk are like-new; they were offering the same mags at ~$55.00/4pk not too long ago. I've bought used plums for as little as $7 to $10 a throw.
That said, prices on -74 mags have gone up across the boards in the last year or so, due to rapidly shrinking supplies of surplus mags, coupled with growing popularity of the AK-74 platform spurred by lots of cheap 5.45 ammo.
HTH!

They are generically known as "proof marks"; I don't know what they signify (could be the Russian equivalent of "Inspected by 12").bobehud said:
