This rifle is from the collection of the Late Charles Clawson, the renowned author of numerous books on the Colt M1911’s and a well known firearms collector. Many are not aware but Chuck collected and was interested in a variety of Military Weapons and over the years was a valued client of this firm. We have been fortunate to have obtained a few items directly from his estate. Chuck also wrote a book on the Westinghouse Russian Contract made rifles and this rifle is in that book and was in his collection as well.
In mint matching condition, we have a 1915 dated Westinghouse made M1891 Mosin Nagant Russian Service Rifle. The rifle is in beautiful condition and is Finnish SA marked which means it was likely to have been delivered to the Russians or sold to the Finns during the WW1 era. The stock is in great shape with the original “English Order” cartouche still intact. While it is not unheard of to find a top condition Remington Made Nagant Rifle, finding a Nice Westinghouse Rifle is a much more challenging endeavor. This was one of the Rifles that spurred Chuck to write his book, and we think that will be of significance to a serious Nagant collector.
