        Yes, and no.  We&apos;re not exactly sure what its designation is, actually.  As we&apos;ll show in a bit, and perhaps some of you smart guys will have an answer.

But constructively - yes. It *is* an RPG-7.

A -7, not the much more commonly seen RPG-7V, which has provision for the optical sight.  This launcher does not.

        This is a RPG-7 close-up view, the part in the upper left corner is the trigger group (typical silver-ish finish) with the safety in view.
The metal band in the middle is one of the 2 metal rings that secures the rear sight of the RPG-7 to the launcher body. The rear sight can be seen in the lower right corner, slighly off-centered to help right handed shooters. (the RPG7 isnt ambidextrous)
The sling visible under is of the russian Canvas type and has the same rivets that AK Series weapons use. The small part visible at the lower left is probably the &quot;rear&quot; grip.

        Almost looks like a 1903 Springfield sight on the chamber area, but what looks like a bedding lug isn&apos;t very 1903-ish...  So I&apos;ll go out on a limb and say it&apos;s a Mauser variant, maybe with a Manlicher stock to explain that extra hardware on the barrel.
