No its not a Soviet flag .. though I was looking at a Mosin Nagant sniper this afternoon. The owner assured me it was fair dinkum ... but alas I think it was dodgy.


What year is yours Skoshi ? interesting with the tag on the but and the Full foresight protectors.

1924 Lithgow. Matching serials on the reciever, bolt, stock and forewood. It's a No1 marked as a MkIII*. It has the slot on the right hand side for the magazine cut-off which from my limited reading was reintroduced in the inter-war period.

Interestingly the woods been stamped for the 3rd miltary district (Victoria) and then over struck with the 4th (South Australia) (Both the victorian 2nd/14th and the South Australian -2nd/27th served on the Kokoda Track alongside my Dad's battalion. So you never know it could of been up that way.)
