Judging by the serial number, this New England Westinghouse M91 was likely built in 1916, while the contract with Russia was still valid. But it doesn't appear to have been shipped out of the U.S. No other marks from another country, and no import marks.
It's constructed entirely of N.E.W. parts. The barrel serial number is lined out. The bolt is not numbered, and not scrubbed, it just never received a number. The floorplate is blank, which is usual. And the buttplate number on the gorgeous dark walnut stock matches the barrel.
This gun shows some moderate wear and tear on the bolt and in the receiver channel. The bore is good to excellent, but shows that it has been fired. And surprisingly, by the wear pattern on the muzzle end, it appears to have donned a bayonet many times. But overall, it is in great shape for a century old piece.
Oh, the oddest thing. It doesn't have the usual English Contract identification on the left buttstock. Instead, it has a very crisp and rarely encountered Meriden Arsenal cartouche on the right side, dated 1916.
Pics, enjoy, and thanks for looking folks.
I'm looking for a MN from the Great War era that is in my price range. That's the sticking point.
