You could start collecting receiver crests, good luck when you get to Ethiopia

IF finding an original fails I think there are repros available. BUT I may be wrong

WELCOME Buy Books or otherwise research them first. also helps to bring money. ( sarc)

It is always difficult to be in your position. I know I have. THE NO5 Enfield should have matching serial numbers and a very good bore. It should also be an AUTHENTIC one, as many many have been faked. I may have missed it, but is the 03A3 either a Smith corona or a Remington make ? IF not, that too...

Really wonderful job. Amazing how some of this old iron cleans up. Is the cartouche visible???

I have read in the book about Sam Cummings. that he purchased over a million guns from Spain in the 1960;s. In WWI Spain supplied .32 cal pistols to France. , now called by some

Seems like strange behavior is common in Fla. Drugs are BAAAAADDDDDD !

I found one of these years back and bought it , though not a Moisin collector. Glad I have held on to it.

NO EXPERT. I have never seen a true Arisaka para rifle. A super original rifle. This is not the first time I have heard of rifles being stuck inside a wall GOTTA WONDER why. ?

Very fine specimen
