Value of Finnish Mosin Nagant

[ru44mag]

My brother is considering selling his Mosin Nagant. All serial numbers match, good condition. Purchased 25 to 30 years ago. Anyone guess what these are going for?

 

[JettaKnight]

What model?

... and any where from $300 to $600 depending on the model, markings, source of original receiver, etc...


This guy sells a lot:

That's not listing all, much of it sells before listing.

I still have some in the grease. Need to thin the herd.

I have seen asking $500 for in the grease stuff, so maybe 4 bills is a fair price for a good one out of the grease.

 

[Miller Tyme]

Depends on model, year, and if it is Finn manufactured or Finn captured or purchased.

 

[CallSign Snafu]

They're worth about $50 but since I am a real nice guy I'll give your brother $75.

Hello! Already been said, too many variables to give a price without details. Let's start with the model- 91/30 capture, 91, 24, 28, 28/30, 29, 39, 30?

Yeah, I was hoping we'd have a little more info from the OP by now...

Sorry guys. Showing my ignorance, I did not realize there were so many variants of the Finnish Nagant. My brother works one of those crazy 6 pm till 4 or 5 am shifts. He finally got back to me a little bit ago, as he is driving into work. Hopefully we can get it identified tomorrow. Thanks for the input to this point.

My guess is that it's probably an M39. That seems to be the most common type, at least when I think of a "Finnish Mosin".

If there is an M39 that needs thinned out...

I believe I have identified the rifle in question. It is a Finnish M27. Of the Tikkakoski(Finland) variety. 1929. There is a D next to the triangle T. I believe it was captured. He said there were two boxes stamped with SA in them. It is in good condition. Serial numbers on the bolt he thought were the same, but the first digit on the bolt appears to be a 3, where as the first number on the rifle is an 8. He has 100 rounds of ammo. Guestimations welcome.

Probably just a poorly stamped 8 on the bolt if the other numbers match. Why do you think it was captured, the m27 was made in Finland? Depending on exact details, such as winged bolt, "ski troop" sling swivel, popsicle sticks, etc, and whether it has been refinished, $500 would be a guess on value of the rifle alone.

I was guessing that the SA inside the box stamped twice stood for what is below. Does the SA stand for something else?

For the assault detachments of the German Army during World War I, see Stormtrooper. For the youth groups, see Jungsturm.

Sturmabteilung

The Sturmabteilung (SA; German pronunciation: [ˈʃtʊɐ̯mʔapˌtaɪlʊŋ] ( listen)), literally Storm Detachment, functioned as the original paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party (NSDAP). It played a significant role in Adolf Hitler's rise to power in the 1920s and 1930s. Its primary purposes were providing protection for Nazi rallies and assemblies, disrupting the meetings of opposing parties, fighting against the paramilitary units of the opposing parties, especially the Red Front Fighters League (Rotfrontkämpferbund) of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD), and intimidating Slavs, Romanis, trade unionists, and, especially, Jews – for instance, during the Nazi boycott of Jewish businesses.
The SA were also called the "Brownshirts" (Braunhemden) from the color of their uniform shirts, similar to Benito Mussolini's blackshirts. The SA developed pseudo-military titles for its members, with ranks that were later adopted by several other Nazi Party groups, chief amongst them the Schutzstaffel (SS), which originated as a branch of the SA before being separated. Brown shirts were chosen as the SA uniform because a large number of them were cheaply available after World War I, having originally been ordered during the war for colonial troops posted to Germany's former African colonies.[SUP][1][/SUP]
The SA became disempowered after Adolf Hitler ordered the "blood purge" of 1934. This event became known as the Night of the Long Knives (die Nacht der langen Messer). The SA continued to exist, but was effectively superseded by the SS, although it was not formally dissolved until after the Third Reich's final capitulation to the Allies in 1945.

I'm sure he would be very happy if someone gave him $500 seeing as how he only has $75 in it.

LOL. Okay. Now I found this.

Return to 7.62x54r.net Home Page. The Finnish SA property mark stands for Suomen Armeija, or Finnish Army, and is one of the most recognizable marks onMosin Nagants.

Heck, if he only has $75 in it, I'll do $100, in small unmarked bills!

Thanks for the info!!! I will tell him he has an offer.

Much obliged. But seriously, if you could get some pics I'd be happy to give a better value. A fairly early M27 in good condition with all the correct features that hasn't been molested could actually be worth more, and if the cavalry version, significantly more.
