"Collectors Forum" - All Mosin Nagant are discussed here. Also the Russian and "Finnish capture" SVT38 and SVT40. This is an excellent place for new Mosin owners to ask questions. We have some of the best experts here looking forward to your questions. If you post a Mosin sniper rifle here, we may or may not move it to the sniper forum.

Since I haven't posted most of this on here, I figured I'd share the new Finnish collection. I'll post a couple pics of each and put a link to the rest of the pics. After selling it all last year after my wife passed, I must say I am thrilled to get back into the hobby and I'm looking forward to the months and years ahead, hopefully adding odd/rare gems along the way! Hope you enjoy the pictures!
Wow that's a reboot? Great Job. Only the second a Civil Guard district marked 91/24 bayonet I have seen. I own the other one. Yours is in nicer condition. Is there a maker mark on the scabbard? What manufacturer made the bayonet.
I'm believe the story that the Finns sharpened the rattails to a point is just that a story.

Thanks!
The only mark on the frog that I could find was a very faint stamp that used to be the circle/triangle/S.Y. mark. Otherwise the leather is worn enough that you can't see anything else. The bayonet is a Westinghouse.

Mine has what I think are the same markings but is also worn and is also a NEW. Only difference is I also have 2 crossed out guard districts in addition to the 3rd not crossed out one. I have a post on the forum somewhere about it. Thank you for sharing.
Move aside Capt American and Superman! I have a new superhero! Great rifles.
