Hello CGN,

I would like to tell you a quick tale. Since my 18th birthday, I have been searching for one of these carbines. Why? I was shown a picture by my grandmother of my great great grandfather who served as a Ukrainian Cossack/Mercenary in World War I. In the picture, he is astride a horse, proud and austere, and in his hands is a Mosin Nagant 1907 Carbine (much much too short to be a Dragoon, Cossack or M91). These, as you I'm sure know, are impossible to find as virtually none still exist.

Thus, my hunt for an M 91/38 ensues, as it is the only Imperial made/marked Mosin Carbine I know of, that I can aquire.

If you have one, I entreat you to let me know and perhaps we could make a deal, or if you know of someone. I wish to have, as close as I can, an example of my family history in the flesh and wood, a piece of my Ukrainian/Russo heritage.

If at the least, feel free to post pictures and discuss the carbine.

Sincerely,
Drachenblut
 
There's a funny story behind how I came to own it. It showed up on the Valleyguns Auction Site a few years ago, and I had to have it as a mate to my M91/59. I started bidding vigorously against some other guy, who was just as determined to win, and after few bids I realized it was Claven2 who I knew and now know much better (we're both from Ottawa). I agreed to stop bidding and he agreed to give me first crack at it should he ever sell. He took the excellent pics and wrote the description while he owned it.

We have remained on each other's "Special Pricing" lists since that time and there are a few others as well (who know who they are). It's a small community here and I have a long memory - there are a few others on a different list. I think you guys can imagine what I mean. ;)
