This plum colored AK-74 magazine belongs to my dad and he needs a translation as to what has been scratched into the magazine. This magazine was manufactured by the Ishevsk Arsenal. Thanks!

The translation is Bulgarian, and it says "Valiant Pazardjik". Pazardjik is a municipality in Bulgaria. Perhaps the former owner was from there?
But the mag was made at Ishvek, which is definitely Russian. That makes me wonder, does Bulgaria buy their AKs from Russia, or do they have facilities to produce their own domestically?

Russia and Bulgaria have a very longstanding and intertwined arms industry. Russia makes some parts for weapons and ships them to Bulgarian factories where they assemble them into "Bulgarian" weapons, and vice-versa.Camo_fiend wrote:The translation is Bulgarian, and it says "Valiant Pazardjik".

This mag could have been used by a Bulgarian mercenary in any conflict in the past 30+ years.
