    I've been on a lucky streak acquiring some cool Nam bring back rifles. I just grabbed this matching 1944 Russian Izhevsk Mosin-Nagant M44 brought home from Vietnam by a combat corpsman of the 1st Marine Division. I'm still trying to research the vet who passed in 2013 but so far an impressive military record. His obituary stated; While serving in the military he earned two Purple Hearts, one National Defense Service Medal, one Vietnam Service Medal with/FMF Combat Operations Insignia, one Vietnam Campaign Medal with/Device (1960), one Combat Action Ribbon, and one Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with Bronze Palm in Gold Frame.

    The previous owner took the bring back papers off the stock. Also notice what appears to be blood stains on the sling.
