I have the same thing on one of my Saiga .410 shotguns. I have no idea what it is.

Supposedly its a German importer marking, but I can't confirm this.

I asked the same question on Saiga 12 forum. Apparently the word is ROSJAGD, not Rosjagn. The letters are all caps and the "D" is just "sytlized"

Here is what I got.

"In context Ros (Russ) colloquial slang = Red (Russian). Jagd = Hunt, hunting. The mark is from a now defunct German firearms importer."
