Turkish marked mosin ?
Turkish marked mosin ?
Found a 1927 DDR stamped Tula ex dragoon at our local cabelas. Looking it over after i got it home, found what looks like to me a Turkish moon stamped on the left side of the receiver at the stripper clip guide. Looks just like the ones on my turk mausers. Doesn't seam to be a badly struck mark of something else. Sorry not able to post pics at this time. I this possible ?

No outside of possibility, but the Turks tended to put that stamp on all of a rifles parts, not just one.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Re: Turkish marked mosin ?
The Turks did use some Mosin actions in their " pattern 1938" frankenMauser creations, but these were older M1891's, not Soviet era rifles. The Turks could have encountered some Soviet Mosins in Korea, and brought some home, but likely this time the marking is just a Soviet inspection mark of some sort.

Happy Days. Side note my mosin-nagant collection started about 6 years ago when my wife came home from work and said your not gonna believe who I made lunch for today ? Svetlana Peters. AKA Svetlana Stalin
forgive my spelling. She has since passed away I think a couple of years ago.

To be honest at the time I never gave Mosin Nagants much of a thought After doing some research on her and how she came to live in my neck of the woods one thing led to another and I bought my first rifle.

Why she was living near you is pretty clear, her father was a class A douchebag of the highest order.

JYD, I think the Turks got their hands on some 1891's when the White Russians left Russian after the successful Revolution and escaped via Turkey.Junk Yard Dog wrote:The Turks did use some Mosin actions in their " pattern 1938" frankenMauser creations, but these were older M1891's, not Soviet era rifles.

The White Russians would have been armed with Imperial era M91's, the few at the time Soviet marked rifles would have been with the Red Army. SOme might have been captured by the Whites, but these would be very few in number. 1927 would have been way too late for the White army to be escaping Russia, by that time the commies had firm control for years, and a secret police network in place filling up Gulags, there was no more resistance.

Turkey and Russia fought several battles during WW1, this is how they got there M91's

but by 1927 the civil war in Russian was a distant memory ( 1917-1922)

Re: Turkish marked mosin ?
IIRC years ago a 1907 carbine eith Turkish markings was posted somewhere.
On Facebook? Check out the non-sporter preservationist group at: OOOPS. Deleted by Facebook because it's evil to even discuss collectible firearms on social media these days.
Re: Turkish marked mosin ?
