I have a Yugoslav Model 59 SKS rifle that has no import markings and I was wondering if it was worth more than an SKS with the import markings.I'm aware that pictures of the rifle would help,but I have no access to a camera and I am not looking to sell the rifle as it is in well used condition.Any help is appreciated,thank you.

  I just checked the rifle and there are no markings under the gas tube,but there are some import marks on the barrel C A I Georgia VT.Which means the rifle was imported by Century Arms.So I guess I don't have a non-import marked SKS,I just have an average run of the mill SKS.Thanks for your help.

  FYI, I have seen a total of TWO SKS rifles without import marks. Both were of Chinese origin, and both had been hand-carried back into the USA from Vietnam by returning GIs.

  Look under the barrel. The folded bayonet may cover importer markings.
