The ц symbol probably stands for the word for price. I don't speak Russian but I speak Bulgarian (which is a European country that uses the Cyrillic alphabet, Lelia, in fact it was invented here, not in Russia...) In Bulgarian the word is "tsena" and is written цена in full.

The Г letter is a hard G sound, not C. It stands for "godina" which means year. It looks to me as though they stamped all models like this then filled in the last 2 digits for the year when the instrument was completed, although that sounds like a strange thing to do.

The Latin N is commonly used in countries which use Cyrillic, even though it's not in the Cyrillic alphabet. It is used (as well as No.) to denote "number". I have a Cyrillic keyboard on my laptop, and it's included as a standard letter, and looks like this № - as you can it's rather stylized.
