Hi, nice clean example.
I am not so sure about wartime refurbs? I think the majority of these were post war done. I see the refurb stamp on the reciever. Not sure when this stamp was introduced?
Cheers, Ade.

Thanks Ade, My M44 has the same refurb stamp on the barrel so this is a odd one in my mind

I've got a 1944 M91/30, Izzy like yours. Nice rifle! These are among my favorites.
I also think that the majority of MN refurbs were done after the war. I don't know when they introduced the refurb mark, but I don't necessarily see anything about it that would indicate that it isn't a wartime refurb. This calls for a study!
P.S. Given the receiver's date of 1937, I would be willing to bet that it was touched up at least somewhat during the war, but that's just speculation. At least it's much more likely than, say, a late 1944 MN.

This is an odd one in my eyes, I've been researching the whole wartime refrub thing and haven't found much yet though. And thanks! Got any pics of yours?
