1904

Tula

Finnish M91

February 25, 2023

Obviously this is an M91, 1904 Tula. On the left side of the stock is a German "Deutsches Reich" property mark. I do not know what the numbers on that side of the stock are. On the reciever is stamped AZF representing the Austro /Hungarian Arsenal in Vienna. I assume this piece of history found it's final home in Finland after it may have been paid as reparations at the end of WW1. Of course the SA, sling loops and sights point to Finnish army. Russia- Germany- Austria- Finland- USA, Pennsylvania.

The rear barrel band has a Chatellerault marking on it, very similar to one on the markings page - very nice!
