Hey Guys,
I've been searching tirelessly for a Westinghouse Mosin. Met with several heartache along the way.
I came across this gem.
Now I know the purists out there will probably take it down several notches because it's not matching.
The Bolt, receiver and trigger guard S/N do not match.
The receiver is Westinghouse and the Stock and Hardware is Remington (BUT the stock is ordnance marked as well).
I've seen all matching examples go for 1k-2500.00 Typically for the 1500.00 range on average in mint all matching condition.
I picked this guy up for $455.00 and since you can get all matching M91 Westinghouse's for 400-500 range anyway. Paying the same for a mismatch seems insane. But after the past 2 years these things have been sky rocketing in price. I recently watched a Bannerman Westinghouse with Ordnance Markings, cut down to carbine length, bent down bolt and gold inlay in the stock go for almost $500. But take into consideration Bannerman's are starting to get their own group of loyal collectors.
What do you guys think? Think I'm crazy? I saw a member on here earlier last year pick up all matching NEW (with been around the block look) go for $150 which is a STEAL!!!
I LOVE the rack number, screamin eagles and flaming bombs!
To put it in perspective here's a few photos I dug up online of US soldiers carrying M91s. Most were used for Marksmanship training and A LOT were sent to the New York National Guard.
Does anyone have any similar photos they would be willing to share?
Let me know what you think as well as your experiences, love to hear them!
Thanks,
Andrew
