This was my collection of 91/38's before I sold them all off.

Based on my experience, you are likely to find 91-38's with shank dates from 1891 through 1920. I have never personally fondled one earlier than 1894 though. I had them with steel stock bolts, wooden stock bolts and no stock bolts. The were made in cut down M-91 stocks, M-38 stocks and M-44 stocks. I even had one with a repaired Austrian stock. Two 91-38's were known to exist with the original bayonets intact. I had one of these. Some are scrubbed or have dual dates. One that I was never able to acquire was a Remington but I've seen one. He didn't want to sell it

I still have one 91/38 & it's a real gem out at the range. Not wanting to part with it.

Nice stuff. I have still not seen one in the flesh.

This is a family photo of my rarest carbines, most of which are 91/38s but a few aren’t so please forgive their inclusion. For my 91/38s I did my best to try and collect a variety of stocks and arsenals. I definitely don’t have the kind of money to have as many as I want and it has been years since I bought my last one.

Nice. That's the stuff right there. Is the carbine on the far right short barreled ?

Yes it’s the same length as all the others.

Absolutely beautiful to me!
