M1891 Mosin Nagant

[Snowman1510]

I have an M91 that is quiet interesting, it was manufactured in 1917 but has the Czar's crest scraped off and it has Bulgarian pine cones on it. What could be the history of this rifle?

Could we see a picture of it? That might help.

Sure can! I don't have the pics on the pine cones though. However they are on the left side of the butt-stock and one near the hand-guard. Sorry the upload came out a bit messy.

I have a similar one that was captured by Austria-Hungary at some point in the war and then Bulgaria got ahold of it, probably in a post war transfer. Any capture markings on it?

What would that look like?

Mine has an AZ stamp on the barrel right under the manufacturer logo. Then there is an AZF on the receiver right under the peened out crest.
