Recently, I was able to acquire a very nice M91 Dragoon built at Tula in 1930.

This Mosin Nagant is still in her original Dragoon configuration due to being captured by Finland most likely during The Winter War. An interesting feature of this rifle is that the Finnish never modified the rear konovalov sight by crossing out the arshins on the left side and stamping meters on the right side. You can barely see the D between the date and serial number. The SA stamp is also barely readable on the left side of the barrel near the receiver. The barrel bands are solid and much to my initial surprise, she is not import marked! The bolt and the magazine floor plate are the only numbers that do not match.

Got some more stuff yesterday, both guns are quite scarce in my neck of the wood, so I'm happy I found them.

The first one is a BAR 1918 A2 made by New England Small Arms Corporation.








The second is an UD M-42 in 9mm.
