I was going to say that perhaps mvee should have better spent his money on a new pair of glasses but after reviewing the photo of the questionable 1934 date on a Friday, the 2 looks as though it could be a 3 stamped upside down. Now we know what he means by being built on a Friday
NICE SCORE!!!
+1 There are a few more gun shows before the end of the year and these pics are making me crave a pre WW2 Mosin.
If you're talking about 91/30's or Dragoons, I think by '28 Izhevsk and Tula had dropped the script writing, so if you like those type of barrel stampings-you will want to look for one before that year.
