Picked this up from a CGN member in Winnipeg. Nice meeting you Mark and thx for a great transaction.
Took it all apart, took some pics, cleaned it up, oiled it, check the firing pin protrusion... and now she's good to go !!
FYI - A Dragoon is a version of the M91 that is the same length as an M91/30, but has the M91 type sights and a unique handguard. This model was phased out in the early 1930s and replaced by the M91/30. An updated Dragoon has the sights and hand guard replaced with the M91/30 types. It is basically an M91/30 in that configuration, but because it is dated pre-1930 it is often referred to as an ex-Dragoon or updated Dragoon by US collectors. While certainly not as rare as a Dragoon in original configuration they are less common than post 1930 M91/30s and sought after by many collectors.
And now... the pics.
Weird shim ??
Tang says it all.
Usual bizarre markings
"00" is an accuracy proof and "Circle K" is a point of aim proof.
What with the 2 ??
