This is the rifle that started me on my mission to collect 1944 Mosin Nagants, it's a 1944 Tula M44 built on an early 20's Tula big hammer reciever. The reason I can only narrow the reciever down to the early 20's is the tang has been scrubbed, but Tula only stamped there recievers with the Hammer cartouche for a couple of years in the early 20's. It is in a late war stock with an amber finish similar to post war 91/59's and has a very intresting hand gaurd repair. Its a mix of Izhevsk and Tula parts and has several Russian names scratched into the buttstock and the underside of the neck of the stock.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

I vote yes, so many interesting and unusual features in one carbine. I like it a lot. I agree, great handguard repair. I've never seen one like it before.
