Probably been there a while...Might have been pointed out here before...

Only $18,500.00...

I thought it might be a real gem...Until I saw the chamber...

It's a crying shame...

Is there any new information as to where these came from?

Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly do you mean when you say "until I saw the chamber"
Is that bad? Good? Is it a phony?

You'll need Sherman and Mr Peabody for help with this one...

It's probably been sold...Perhaps Albert bought it for his collection...

If you check/Search the threads on Still's Forum you'll see an assortment of crossed rifles chamber markings...Some good, some bad...

Jones, Walter, and Datig all mention this variation...Jones & Walter have pictures...

BTW: The deletion of pictures, changing of URLs, updated site formats, etc are exactly why it is requested that posters attach pictures rather than link them...

Justin, IMHO, the crossed rifles on this one are at the low end of quality engraving/stamping...There are much better ones...Serial # 747 is a pretty nice one...And may even be authentic...

Mosin Negant Rifles. One of my favorite was 'Enemy At The Gate' regarding a Russian sniper who is tracked my a German Officer~ Definitly one of my all time best sniper movies~~Its on youtube!!
