I finally decided I needed one of these. Now I need to figure out what it is. I will have some better pictures when it arrives. Looks like a Bulgarian refurbished example. Is that correct?

Most of the M95s in the US have been through Bulgaria at some point. Hard to tell from the photos, but it looks like your has an HV-(eagle)-33 acceptance mark, indicating a re-barrel in Austria circa 1933; it has the short rear sight and non-banded front sight, so it is not a cut-down rifle. The sling configuration is typical for a Bulgarian refurb. With the bayonet included, I'd say you got a good deal.

Thank you Devo. I will get some better pictures when it arrives. Need to start doing some research. I think I am going to like it.

Price was excellent. Bayonets have been selling for $75 plus.

It looks to be a Bulgarian piece, but most of those came through Austria, and some via Hungary post war (will be H marked). If the serial number is electro penciled on the bolt, it is a Bulgarian.

Looks like a bulgarian slink on it as well.
