1. Marking
a. Marking methods employed by SALW manufacturers include:
1) Laser;
2) Milling by pantograph;
3) Sealing [on tin];

b. Markings on firearms include:
1) serial number;
2) name of the weapon;
3) type of weapon/catalog number;
4) caliber;
5) the name of the manufacturer/country of manufacture;
6) logo (of the manufacturer or the customer);
7) in specific cases - special markings such as the serial production number of the barrel, the specific mark for the quality tests.
