1942 Finnish Tikka Mosin Nagant

Post by yarmouth1 »

Bought this at a pawn shop a few weeks ago up here in Canada for $200. Thought I'd share some pic's. I'd like to know if the eagle is Russian or Austrian and what the G 3 underneath the eagle means. :pointdown:

That was one hell of a good price, I have two, including a 1942 like this one and both are exceptional shooters. I don't recall anything about the G3
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

The eagle is Russian. The 'G' is not (there is no 'G' in the Cyrillic alphabet).
The 'G' looks a little crude. I have seen many other letters, but not 'G's?

Karl-Heinz Wrobel lists the 'G' on Finnish M91's as: "Finnish possibly Balkan."
So, either the Finns acquired this receiver from their purchases abroad and it was already so stamped, or they stamped it thus, themselves.

The bayonet alone is worth $50 +.
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Frankly you stole that one. Fantastic price IMHO. Tika's are worth the extra in my book, you got a hell of a deal.

Wow, very nice, and about half of what we would likely pay, and without a bayonet.
