"Wait until you see what an SA marked m44 will do.........."

I saw one on auction a couple years ago & it went for a very fair price(read cheap..) of around $600.00, if I recall correctly. I have been wanting an SA M44 for a few years now & will spend the dinero when I find one for sale...

BTW - The price on that SA M38 was a fair deal on one of those...(The one I bought off of Gunmaker is in better shape... )

Yes, alks207, there are deals to be had all over the place. i have seen a recent auction or two of a D stamped M38 that has for sure served in Finland, It sold for a very reasonable amount because folks did not recognize it's history(cept the buyer...)

Education & the right place and the right time...

"If a gun as rare as a Finn M38 brings that much...what would a Finn, all matching, non-threaded barrel, CG M96 bring?"

How many were sent to Finland? 75K? Something like that....?

MosinNagant.net says something around 2k of SA M38's are out there....Some of which are M44's? SA or D stamped M38's & M44's are pretty rare in my book...

This is one of my finds of a lifetime....it was bubba'd & I restored it....(one o the reasons I intensely dislike bubba....)
