The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

On Soviet 91/30's? They were only made for the late rounds.

No we were talking about M27's I believe. You are getting as bad as me on subjects and that is bad! What was your name again and how do I get those pictures up again! Bill

Nice looking rifle. Great markings and scars. That one has character

M27's like this are so hard to find in my neck of the woods. Very nice find.

As the collecting nation begins to realize just how cool and affordable to ordinary people most Mosin Nagants are they will become even more scarce. I dare say if everyone collects the number of some what I will call super collectors they will disappear completely. Then how many $20 gold pieces do you see these days and how much are they worth now? Bill

Awesome find!

There are some nice St Gaudens $20 double eagles selling on ebay between 2 to 3 Thousand, but price varys with grade, and date, some of them are in the upper six figures or better, lowest grade most common about fifteen hundred.

Believe it or not one of those was deposited in a Salvation Army kettle down here during the Christmas holiday. Now that makes a tidey sum for a donation! Bill

Daddy, I gave Santa that funny looking coin you had in your desk, I know it's not money but maybe he will like it anyway....daddy....daddy..mammy, why is daddy breathing funny and holding his chest?

It has happened, not to me , no rugrats around, but you see a lot of collector grade coins show up in change at the supermarket and you know some kid, or someones wife found that tin full of old coins and thought they were just money.
