Viet Nam bring back
I have a Russian Model 44 Nagant that was brought back as a trophy from Viet Nam in 1970. I also have the papers that authorized it to be brought home. I'm trying to find the current value of this rifle, and any help would be appreciated.

About $150.00 tops. That is if it's in cosemetically good shape. If not, $75.00. 0 -
With the entire country awash with $75 M44s, even with the return papers it is hard to get much more than double the amount of a current import. 0 -
If you find someone that collects war trophies you might get as much as $200 for it. 0 -
I don't know about the Russian 44, but several years ago, I had a Chinese SKS that was evidently a Vietnam bring-back. I say "evidently," because there were no importer marks. It was well-used, but sound. By the time the US allowed importation of commie guns, all imports had to be marked by their importers.
I put the gun up for sale here on Gunbroker, and it brought about 3 times what the equivalent SKS with importer marking would have brought. It might have done better if it had come with its paperwork.0 -
44's have dried up on the surplus marker for a time now..91/30's are the push right now.... bought a 44 at dunhams but dumped it an an auction house after commission i broke even for my 75 dollars..put it up on the auction side and see how it goes i expect that a slight premium could be had as a non import..heck i may just take a look see[:D] 0
