Here's one for $650, and I think I've seen them a few hundred $$$ higher on the EE for quality like this.

Yes, The 39's are Superior to the 28's. Like the Big Enchillada.
$695 is TOO much.Marstar had it for 525 http://www.marstar.ca/gf-usedguns/images/firearms/NR113-Nagant-452-L.jpg and it is still to much..

Hey! everyone is either talking about another rifle, saying it is superior or rarer or better but no one has ever seen the real deal!
For a collector, a rifle doesn't need to be "superior" to be collectible. It can even be an absolute historical clunker. The point is, it has to be significant.
The M-28 and its brother the M-28/30 is one of the most significant and rare Finn Mosins.
It goes in the M-27 and M-29 lineage and is one of the most sought-after Finn rifles. One of the most accurate, too (ask Simo Hayha)...
I would surely be interested by an M-28 in good to very good condition because there aren't many available actually.
Yes, I know $600.00 and over IS a bit stiff but there's a nice second generation M-27 on CGN's Exchange forum actually going for $500.00, so I guess all the Finn rifle's values have taken an upward hike lately...
PP.

Arrgh! So much misinformation in this thread!
The ones linked to in the EE are of M39's, not M28's. Not the same gun at all. The M28 was a Civil Guard issue ONLY rifle from, you guessed it, 1928 and onward. For more info, look here:

With the exception of possibly a Chatellerault M91, the M28 is the rarest Mosin you are likely to encounter in Canada. I've collected mosins for years and I only know of THREE M28's in Canada TOTAL. Two were one-off imports by Jean Plammondon in the 1990's (I used to own one of them) and the third was a one-off import by Collector's Source (now on their site).
The M27 shown on Marstar's website, while uncommon, is a far more common gun than an M28.
The M39 is probably superior than all buy perhaps the M28-30 in terms of function, but nowhere near as rare as an M28.
$695 is a very fair price for a decent M28. In terms of sheer rarity, they should be worth even more than that!

I've heard it was only two Chat M91 in Canada(I don't know if it is true) I was looking for Chat M91 for years and bought one from US last month
Chat 1893. M27/28 is rare, but I will never spend more than price of M39 for it.PS.I'm LF 1919 Tula "Big Hammer" M91 if you have one for sale,please let me know.
