I have a 1931 Tula (hex receiver) and I had a couple questions about the original accessories.
Sling:
I have a greenish one with red leather tabs and a more tan like one with brown leather tabs. Which one is more authentic to a rifle of this vintage?
Cleaning kit;
Pouch: black canvas with tan canvas strap or black leather with tan canvas strap?
Items included:
Screwdriver/firing pin gauge: Yes/No = Yes
Crown cover: Yes/No = Yes
Pin with attached rope Yes/No = ? (What was this used for?)
Screw-on Jag Yes/No = Yes
Chamber guide (?)/Rod handle Yes/No = yes (EDIT: Rod handle only)
Pin (partially flattened) Yes/No = ? (What was this used for? EDIT: To secure the rod handle.)
Broken shell extractor Yes/No = ?
Round dual alkeline/oil container (marked).
I have post WWII brown leather pouches. Does anyone know what the pre-WWII looked like? http://7.62x54r.net/MosinID/MosinAcc.htm does not show any,
Thanks for the input!
Okki
EDIT: Found this video that shows the pin being used etc.
