Sestroryetsk 91/38 - Value?
Hey everyone!
New poster here, have kinda been out of the Mosin Nagant communities for a while but I've been looking to get some more info on one of the rifles I've got in the closet. I picked this rifle up at a gun show a number of years ago for not much more than what a regular 91/30 was going for at the time, just looking to see what it might be worth and get any additional info on it! All I know per some quick research and Reddit posting is that it's a Sestroryetsk 91/38 haha.
Thanks much in advance!

Sales I have seen for Sestroryetsk 91/38 over the last 10 years have varied widely.
One sold for $4,000 but I don't know if the seller ever got the money.
The lowest sold for $500 with others $850, and $1,700.
The Sestroryetsks seems to fetch the highest prices (omitting the 1 Remington and 1 Westinghouse) that I have seen with unknown prices but they would be the record holders.
My guess would be at auction, it would be worth at least $850 and possibly much more.

I have not been in that market and would have guessed a $500.00 floor price, but I have no reason to doubt Neals estimate. My ulcers flare up every time that I think of walking out of a pawn shop, about six years ago, on a Sestroryetsk M-91 for $125.00 because it was missing the front sight. I went back for it a few days later and of course, it was long gone. It is the ones you don't buy that hurt.

Very interesting stamps on the receiver, a Tula hammer and some Austrian capture stamps. That stock is the cleanest I have ever seen.

Interesting...what do you know about the Austrian capture stamps? Haven't heard of this before. But yeah the stock is gorgeous, that's what initially caught my eye when I bought it years ago.Longcolt44 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 9:03 pm Very interesting stamps on the receiver, a Tula hammer and some Austrian capture stamps.

There was a group of M91/38 that were released with stocks like that. I have one also.Longcolt44 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 9:03 pm Very interesting stamps on the receiver, a Tula hammer and some Austrian capture stamps. That stock is the cleanest I have ever seen.
They are thought to be a Czech M44 stock stock.
But his has a much better bluing job then my does.
Nice one!!

What looks to be an AF right above the Tula hammer in a circle.

I recently sold a non-antique Izhevsk 91/38 for nearly $1k. That may be an outlier but Sestroryetsk examples tend to go for more than Izhevsk

I purchased an 1894 Sestroyetsk from another collector for mid 600’s February of last year (I think 650 plus 35 shipping but I can’t find an email with the amount to confirm). Mine does not have extremely clear markings but is better than a lot of them. It is the third 91/38 in on the left in the group pic.

I didn’t see the rest of the pics on imgur before my reply but yours is clearly a nicer specimen and would fetch way more.

$1,000 and up in this market we have now. Unreal what 91/30's and M 44's are bringing. A 440 spam can sold for $ 340 I was watching.

Wow, I have 6 cans of 440 round cans I paid $40 each for them. And I though I was crazy at the time! I wish I had bought more now.
That M91-38 is going to bring a premium being a Sestroryetsk. It is going to be really hard to replace that one if you get rid of it.

Antique Mosins sell for stupid money on Gunbroker. I wouldn't be surprised to see it get bids north of $1k on there.
