Years ago, I remember my wife peeking into my darkroom, where I had a whole row of maybe two dozen Mosin-Nagants, all looking pretty similar, and saying "Is that one over there new?"
Yes, it was.
Craig, she's good at spotting anomalies. In the early 90's, I tried to get to go to Navy Arms with me and go through the stacks of Mosins, pulling out anything that looked different. She wasn't interested. I did find a Finn 27/30 Ski Troop Rifle that way, though.
I saw these. They are awesome pipes! Unfortunately, I just talked to Marty about two pipes and I still desire a pipe from Foggy as a momento. Not in a position to pull the trigger on this deal.
