Nice stock on it also, the early style, many of the 91/59's have new wood.
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.

Those links are not the M91/38 that brodydog (OP) was referring to.

Here is the rifle he (OP) was referring to.

Yes, excellent price. It is very unique. Most of them look a little "older" that that. That one must have got some "special duty".

Anyone know the current value of these? I've found a counterbored one in a m44 stock (is that correct?) number match. It's marked 1942 Czech markings are found on the barrel shank and receiver.

Please post photos whether you buy it or not. I've see 133 M91/38s and the latest marking was 1920. If a 91/38, it would be very unique.

This one was an M38 mistaken for a 91/38. The seller has since changed his ad to reflect the model type.

I have seen a few lately that were built from 1943 Izhevsk rifles and that is probably what didn't get me interested as much as an older/less common version would have. I believe the really rare ones are Chattelerault, Sestroyetsk, Remington and NEW.
91/38's were never built off of 1943 rifles. You are thinking 91/59... or M-38... A long time ago I heard of one with a round receiver but have never seen a picture of it. So, until I do, they don't exist as 91/38's.

I will say if the 1906 is the one you were referring to, the buyer stole it regardless if it isn't matching. But, this thread has me totally confused...
