1894 Mosin-Nagant M1891 Tula Imperial Pre WW1 Finnish
For Sale: Restored Finnish-Captured Mosin-Nagant M1891 “3-Line Rifle” manufactured by Tula Imperial in 1894, chambered in 7.62x54mmR. This rifle has been carefully restored using traditional rust bluing, which is the original finish method used during the period. The stock has been refinished with boiled linseed oil, which is historically correct for these rifles rather than the later shellac finish often seen on refurbished examples. All metal components that were originally left “in the white” have been polished accordingly. This is an early production rifle dated 1894 with a relatively low serial number in the 120k range, which is quite early considering that more than 30 million Mosin-Nagant rifles were produced. It is also a Finnish-captured example, identified by the “SA” marking on the left side of the chamber area of the barrel. The rifle is not fully matching, which is common for Finnish-captured Mosins since the Finns often mixed parts during refurbishment. The bolt matches the barrel and receiver except for the cocking piece. Most other parts appear to be Tula-made but have different serial numbers. The stock is dated 1899, as indicated by stamps on the rear of the butt and the right side. Based on the configuration, the upper handguard may have been added later by the Finns, as early rifles prior to 1902 typically did not include one. Condition is excellent considering the rifle’s age of approximately 130 years. The metal finish is very well preserved. There is minor pitting under the rear sight and around the chamber area, which is typical for rifles of this age due to moisture trapped under the stock.

WWI German GEW M98 MAUSER RIFLE manufactured by V. CHR. SCHILLING SUHL 1916 1916 Gew M98 V.
This is a correct WW Suhler Consortium M98 rifle. It is my opinion this rifle was reworked by the German military for use in WWII given the original WWII German armorers replacement. It is in original condition with all parts visible numbers matching. No import mark is present. Triggergaurd is unnumnered however it shows an Imperial H woth crown on the magazine floorplate. The magazine follower is an original German armorer Wafdenampt stamped replacement part. Buttplate is correctly unnumbered. Rating Definition: Excellent. Rifle retains 90-95 % crisp original finish. Stock: The walnut stock is correct and serialized 4473 to the rifle in good condition with a crack on the front left side between the upper barrel band and rear barrel band. Note: Stock pictures in listing show what looks like a crack in the mid area of the buttstock however there is no evidence of this on either the pistol grip side of the buttplate side where the stock is cracked whatsoever. Additional pics can be taken to show this. I hypothesize that this is perhaps a shrinkage in the wood due to rifles age. Rifle shows typical handling marks. No evidence of sanding. Bore: Bore is good with very pronounced lands and grooves visible. Rifle shows a great crown and has a smooth chamber. Mechanically sound, the rifle is in excellent condition. The action functions as it should.
