1916 Izhevsk Finnish Dragoon

Post by bunkysdad »

I took some new pictures of the Dragoon I won last year on Gunbroker. It's a 1916 Izhevsk that never went through the Russian 91/30 update thanks to being captured by Finland, where it was placed in a Finn stock.

You know what? I am a little different than many collectors, in that I have not acquired a huge number of Mosins. I have 13, but it has taken about 5 or 6 years. 8 are Finns, and that is mostly because certain models are actually easier to find that have been in Finnish Army use. For instance this Dragoon. When you find a Dragoon it is much more rare if it is NOT a Finn, because apparently every Russian Dragoon they could get their hands on got the upgraded sights of the 91/30 program. 3 of my rifles are model 1891's, and there again all SA marked. I can only imagine what the battlefield looked like after the Finns got through and started collecting battlefield hardware. With a kill ratio of 40:1 those Finns were some highly efficient soldiers. Of course all of their Russian rifles weren't captured.

The Winter War, it's on youtube with subtitles, or was, they keep taking it down and a month later somebody puts it up again, or just buy the DVD.
