So recently I bought a Finnish M39 Mosin and I was looking at the markings on the tang. I can't distinguish what these are. Could some expert help me?
And here's a circle B on the left side of it.

You need to look at the UNDERSIDE of the tang dingus.

There's nothing on the underside brother

Then it's scrubbed. Is there grind marks? Maybe take a whiteout pen and apply liberally then wipe to see if you can get anything to show up. As far as the markings shown they look Russian to me but don't quote me. The Tula star didn't have a circle as I recall so I'm not sure. The B is probably a proof or QC mark of some kind as well but I don't know.

the top mark on the first picture looks like either a westinghouse E or an izhevsk bow and arrow that has partially worn away

Hope this helps!

I've been looking around and it looks like a worn down arrow B which is the marking for Remington
