Nugget serial numbers Anonymous 2017-08-08 11:27:23 Post No. 34800388 [Report]

I got a regular old 91/30 Nugget for Christmas last year (poorfag, was lucky to get even this), and for some reason the first time I got around to looking at the serial numbers was last night. I had assumed they didn't match, and the person who got me the gun told me they didn't. However, I noticed that all four numbered parts (barrel, bolt, floorplate, and buttplate) had the number 9435 on it.

Are these numbers original? I think so, they appear stamped and I don't see any areas that appear as if an original number was removed, but I want to make sure about it.

I'm also interested in how this increases the value of the gun (because it seems to me that most Mosins you find today don't match), and what, if anything, I might be able to learn about the gun based on its number. The marking on the barrel shows that it came from the Izhevsk arsenal, and its dated 1943.

Unlikely, it has been refurbished.

It was my understanding that any renumberings done during refurbishment were done by hand with an electropencil, not stamping

If the numbers match are aren't electropenciled, then they're original.

Yeah, I don't have a picture of it, but it also has "9435" stamped on the floorplate, not penciled in

I think PW Arms forcematches them.

These people are wrong, they stamped them most of the time.

No letter prefix on the bolt serial number indicates it's a force-matched part. The original bolt body would have had both the Cyrillic letters and Arabic numerals of the barrel's serial number.
