M1891 Mosin Nagant

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?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

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 icon

-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.
