Some additional pictures I took of my St Petersburg cavalry school carbine.
I just cleaned it and for the rest left the carbine as it is.
The carbine is actually a cut down Tula M91.

The rear sight looks very much like the rear sight of the carbine 1907.


Image

Image
The carbine has a stepped barrel to accommodate the so called Gulkevich bayonet (sorry, no pics).
This is a folding bayonet that, when folded, fits the scabbard that is attached to the right side of the carbine.
It is especially made for this carbine.
A normal M91 bayonet can be attached to this carbine, but it will not fit the scabbard.

Left: rear barrel band
Right: front barrel band including front sling swivel



Image
Attached scabbard


Image
Rear sling swivel on left side of buttstock.


Image
This is how the rear sling swivel is fastened on the right side of the buttstock.

Sure would like to know what this marking means.
It's very faint.



So many questions with no answers (yet)
I love this hobby. :D

So.....now it's time for an E-mail to Mr. Wrobel :D


Met vriendelijke groet,

Martin
