Here's a nother shot of an imperial eagle. This is on an M28 I picked up marked as a 91/30.

Sorry to dredge up an old thread . . . here is an Imperial Eagle that got away. It's on my 1931 Hex 91/30 from Aztec - way back when you could get any of the Mosins for $49.95 (anyone remember those "good ol' days"??? I bought a complete set at that price when I first got my C&R). I didn't actually get this for so cheap but it was one of the last ones they had before they ran out of stuff to sell. Talked to the big boss himself to pick me out a good one. I think the price was $79.95 + $10.00 shipping.

"... as if something was ground off."
It was. the Russian Imperial eagle. These were all Russian guns before coming into Finnish hands.

What is the round depression just south of the 1943 on the receiver? Looks as if something was ground off.

Vic Thomas is saying the crossed cannon mark on the stock of Finn rifles is ID'ing the Sub Contractor of the stock and can contain a number. Keeping this in mind could this be a sub contracted rifle barrel and the number is ID'ing a certain maker? I for some reason was of mind the they only had letters in there and it ID'd the arsenal. Tried to find the other post on this to no avail but Yuku has been screwing around for days on me and I have lost several posts. Bill

The usual crossed cannon stamp seems to be overstamped with that Roman Numeral "IV"-in-a-circle. I am curious too. Regards.

Yup Nug that is the one I was refering to. It looks like the crossed cannon one you usually see on stocks but I have never seen the Roman Numeral IV in there. Wonder what that means? An arsenal designation like the letters mean? Bill

Well, I have been rooting around Ted's Excellent site a bit and found nothing like it so far.

Hey Nothernug on the one picture (the first one) of the barrel badge area what is that stamping high and close to the back of the sight? Looks somewhat like the crossed cannon marks usually having a depot mark in the middle. I do not recognize that mark in the center though. Just could be my old eyes doing there age thing but had to ask. Thanks! Bill

A 1943 SAKO.

This thing looks like it went to the wars but I prefer 'em that way.

Gotta fess up. The bayo is a repro. not a "fake" mind, but an honest repro. It came with the rifle....
