RARE Antique 1893 Dated IMPERIAL RUSSIAN Arsenal Mosin-Nagant M1891 Rifle
Pre-1898 Dated “1893” w/FINNISH “SA” Marking
Here we present an antique Imperial Russia Mosin-Nagant 1891 Rifle, made in 1916 at the Izhevsk Arsenal with a production run between 1891 and 1973. These antique Mosin-Nagant rifles are quite rare. A real pre-1898 antique Russian Mosin-Nagant Model 1891 Full Length Rifle, officially referred to as the “Three Line Infantry Rifle, Model of 1891.” This particular one was later refit in Finland to the Finnish M91 Mosin-Nagant standard. The left side of the barrel is marked with “SA” inside a rectangle, for Suomi Armeija (Finnish Army). When Finland achieved independence from Russia, over 190,000 Model 1891 infantry rifles were already stockpiled in the ex-Russian military depots within Finland. As a result, the rifle was adopted as the standard Finnish Army weapon, and surplus Mosin–Nagants were purchased from other European nations which had captured them during World War I. The official designation of these were “3-линии пехотная винтовка образца 1891–го года” which translates to “Three Line Infantry Rifle, Model of 1891”. These rifles were then overhauled to meet Finnish Army standards and designated M/91.
The Soviet Model 1891 known in the West as the Mosin–Nagant and in Russia as Mosin’s rifle is a five-shot, bolt action, internal magazine fed military rifle developed from 1882 to 1891 and used by the armed forces of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and various other nations. It is one of the most mass-produced military bolt-action rifles in history with over 37 million units having been made since its inception in 1891, and, in spite of its age, it has been used in various conflicts around the world up to the present day.
The overall condition is good. Original finish. Robust action. The bore is semi-bright and remains in good shape. The stock is solid with an expected amount of wear. Markings are legible.
