1916 PTG M91 in an early stock

Found this on GB about a week and a half ago and it had enough oddities going for it to make me want it. It's a 1916 PTG M91 with obvious signs of a Balkan heritage, the stock is an early Izhevsk stock with out the sling slots and has the telltale holes put in by the Austrians in WW1 to install there sling mounts on there captured rifles. The rear sling mount isn't Finn, and I am told it appears to be an Austrian mount but I have not verified that as of yet. The rifle it self is a mix master of Izhevsk and Tula parts and the magazine sling mount is still intact. The action has less than 10% bluing left on it but the bore is in remarkable good shape.
All in all it is just what my collect needs, a true mutt, but a mutt with pedigree
