Degtyarev Plant

On Tuesday I got a Russian stamp in a cover.

This is it:


Centenary of the Degtyarev Plant (issued 27-09-2016)
The Kovrov Machine-gun Plant was founded on 27th August 1916 to cover the requirements of the Russian army for light machine guns. Its establishment is connected with the names of Russian scientist Vladimir Fyodorov and engineer Vasily Degtyaryov. The plant is known as Degtyarev Plant since 1949. Today it is one of the most important weapon-producing enterprises of Russia.

Thank You very much Elena!
