Gun (A) is a 1944 dated Russian model 38 style carbine, which is also marked "1891/59". In overall appearance the M91/59 is similar to both the Soviet (Russian ) Model 1938 Carbine and the Czech cutdown M91/38 Carbine. While the outward appearance of these three carbines are much alike each model is quite unique. The rear sights of the M91/59 are not true carbine sights as they are M91/30 rear sights that have been scrubbed. The distances from 1110-2000 meters were rather crudely removed making the sights adjustable only from 100-1000 meters. This is in contrast to the Model 1938 and M91/38 that have true carbine rear sights. In general these carbines have been fitted in a stock that is much like the Model 1938 Carbine but they appear to be cut-down M91/30 stocks. Matching numbers. Import marked on the bottom of the barrel. Cleaning rod and sling. Excellent mechanical function. Retains 95% arsenal finish. Laminated stock is fine with some light handling marks. Bore is fine with strong rifling. Gun (B) is a Polish made .22 Wz48 single shot training rifle. Retains 85% finish overall with some light freckling and minor dings and handling marks. Wood stock is very good with some dings and handling marks, varnish wear. Fine mechanical function. Bore is fine with strong rifling. Dated 1954. Does not appear to be import marked.
