Hi Ade,
I must say i envy you your collection, a lot of time effort and money has gone into gathering those weapons together.
And they are in a superb condition, well done.
dave.
Some great pics in this thread.
thanks for posting
Great collection Ade!
These scopes were never fitted to the Carbine, only the M91/30 rifle.
Repro scopes can be found on E bay. Originals are harder to find.
Cheers, Ade.
Hi Petr, yes a few SKS's were trialed in the Battle for Berlin. These very early versions had spike bayonets like used on the Mosin Nagant.
The PTRS is my favourite too
Cheers, Ade.
Hello Ade,
I think you will be the man to sort out this little conundrum? I have a very battle weary Mosin Nagant. It's a deac because well past it's 'use by date'. Among it's many scars I;ve arrowed a couple of bayonet/knife imprints which seem to indicate hand to hand fighting?
My question is; There are many marks stamped into the metalwork, which I can photograph for you if it's any help but I'm curious about the oriental looking 'brand mark' on the stock. If you look carefully there are also other unusual trace marks on the stock, they look like painted marks which have been removed. Could these be Korean, Chinese, etc. etc. or perhaps Double Dutch! Am I missing something obvious?
I've wondered about this for years but was prompted to write after another member posted a question about Mosin Nagants today.
Best regards,
Guy.
Hi Guy, the branded marks are Chinese. A lot of these rifles came into the UK via WorldWide Arms. All were really well used. Forum member Reg has loaned my book on the Mosin Nagant Rifles at the moment. I cannot recall now if this gives any more details about the markings?
This kind of mark can also be found on Chinese Mausers.
Cheers, Ade.
