help with value of a Finnish capture 1891

skipbo32 · 06-13-2012, 02:36 AM

sorry for the bad pics. i picked this 1891 up at an estate sale for about $125 and it came with 400 rounds of ammo. it is stamped 1909 and has a Finn stamp on it. it is all in original soviet configuration. still has the "USSR" barrel. any help with what the value is on this? the barrel is kind of dark, but i've shot it and it hits what you aim at.

1909 with [sa]
and the D stamp is "D" mark, usually found on the chamber, but sometimes on the rear sight base. This indicates that the throat of the rifle was opened up to allow use of the Finnish D166 round which required more room for the larger ogive of the bullet.

you are looking at around a $250 and up gun
cat tell if its a finland stock or not from the pictures or if it is a counter bore or not
so,,,,,,,,,,

My bad, remembered it as the DDR property mark. Very nice rifle.

thanks for the help guys. my guess was that it was worth around $200-250. i know appraising mosin nagant rifles is somewhat of a science. the intrinsic value of the rifle will always be much more to me then actual value. i just really like the rifle.

on the stock.....i had one guy tell me it was an american stock. it looks to me that it has some kind of funny backwards letter on it.....i figured it was russian.
