Russian Mosin Nagant M1938 Carbine in 7.62x54R.
Based on the standard full-length M1891/30 Mosin Nagant, the M38 was designed and manufactured between 1939-1945, and was to be a compact carbine equipping Soviet rear-echelon and non-combat military personnel, however many of these rifles would instead see combat during the Second World War. They would later be replaced in service by the M1944 Carbine starting in 1943.
This particular M38 was manufactured in 1943 in Izhevsk, Udmurtia by the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant (known today as Kalashnikov Concern) and as such bears the iconic Izhevsk crest consisting of an arrow in a triangle below the serial number on the reciever. According to the crude square below the reciever's Soviet crest, it was later repaired post-war by the 7th GRAU Arsenal based in Riga, Latvia.
Sometime later, the rifle was imported into Germany by what is now HEGE Jagd & Sport GmbH & Co. according to the German import marks, 'HEGE' marking, and German eagle on the left-hand side of the reciever and barrel.
