JensF. Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 (edited) Maybe this belongs to the weapons-forum, but I have some questions who are more into russian history.A nice addition to my tiny WW1 weapons collection. A (deactivated) Mosin-Nagant M1891 rifle. NOT the 1891/30; its the much rarer early type. This one was made in 1906 in Tula and has some nice czarists stamps. There is also a finnish stamp "SA" on it, so I think this rifle was capture by the finnish in WW1 or by the germans and later sold to Finnland. The carrying sling is WWII btw.

JensF. Posted October 18, 2005 Author Posted October 18, 2005 Closeup of the stamps. I think it was made in Tula. Maybe someone can help me with a translation of the rest? The finnish stamp "SA" can be seen on the left side under the serial #.
JensF. Posted October 18, 2005 Author Posted October 18, 2005 Closeup of the sight. As you can see the range numbers were changed. Did the finnish used another type of ammo or was the russian unit "Arshin" just too complicated?
JensF. Posted October 18, 2005 Author Posted October 18, 2005 New numbers on the right side of the sight:
