About every 4 years or so the wife and I take off the last Wednesday in August and go to a big Flea Market in S.E. Indiana to dispose of stuff we no longer need, and for her to buy stuff other people don't need.
Well this year was different, a gentleman set up next to me and had a 1942 Izhevsk M38 for sale. He originally had it marked for $525.00, but quickly marked it down to $375.00. I asked to look it over since the stock looked like it might have been a Finn Captured, but quickly noticed the lack of any Finnish markings, but it was all original stamped matching so after a couple of hours of no lookers I made him an offer well below his $375.00, and to my delight he accepted.
So here it is, in all its glory.

Thanks Duncan, the wife is just flabbergasted at the way these keep finding me.

All matching and not forced match. Now that is find for any kind of Mosin Nagant. Nice.
