A 'kind of' 1915 Nagant mixmaster

---------------------------------------------------------
I mentioned in the Nagant photo thread that a clerk destroyed
the mostly original 1916 Nagant that I had on layaway. Well
later I scored this one, not nearly as nice but interesting
anyway. I didn't want to disgrace your photo thread with my
crappy pictures, you guys have some incredible pictures there
already. I took these photos a while ago, I really need to take
better ones. This one is buried somewhere in the safe.
I bought it thinking it was a 1915 non-refurb. Joe Leiper gave
me the skinny on it. It's non import marked, and all arsenal
forced matched to the 1915 sideplate probably in an early 30's
rebuild. The partially scrubbed imperial acceptance marks on the
frame were specific to 1903/04 according to him, the 1915
sideplate was added much later. The trigger guard is pre-1928
but post WW1, there are a few marks unknown to him but match a
font from the late 30's on. There are no Finn traits at all, it
is as though this pistol dropped from service just before WW2.
No idea where it came from or how it wound up stateside. It also
had a well made home-made but soft firing pin...the tip was
heavily deformed. I replaced it for shooting but kept the one it
came with.
This Nagant had me wondering if any had been sent to Spain along
with Mosins, but the answer seems to be no.

Also, the triangle A stamp on the right rear may hold a clue to
it's origins, but so far it's is a unique mark even to Joe. No
one has seen it before.

Wait, was that you that had the one on layaway and the store
owner's son fucked it up shooting .32's through it?
Edit: Nevermind I just read your post on the other thread. I
remember when that happened. You were so damn excited when you
put that on layaway....... Then bam! Next post you sounded like
the Grinch came and stole your Christmas. I remember when it
happened, I just forgot it was you Dave.

No rail on this puppy.
This pistol did spark an interesting discussion. The 1915
sideplate is on a 1903/04 frame, only dateable due to its
acceptance stamp. I had asked what happened if a pre 1898 side
plate was installed on a WW2 frame, did the pistol magically
become an antique? I know that sideplates that old are almost
non-existant. But what if a collector were to buy an antique
refurbed nagant only to find it is a non-antique frame? Could a
law be violated? I was told that this kind of scenario prompted
one importer to make their billboard stamp smaller and put it up
at the top of the sideplate. It overlapped the frame there
making it easy to see if it was switched out at some point after
sale. Not sure though.
