Mosin-Nagant's have been imported by the container load from Eastern Europe, for the last ten years. The market is flooded with them. The retail prices I have seen recently, have been in the $80-$150 range.
Because they have been imported in such quantity, many show up on the two large internet gun auctions. You might check the actual selling prices on the auctions, for conformation of the actual fair market values.0 -
A Mosin-Nagant Model 91 manufactured in 1951 would be worth a fortune! Actually, the Model 91 (short for Model 1891) was obsoleted in the early 1930's. And its follow-ons, e.g. Model 91/30, Model 38, Model 44 and others were also replaced by then in the Soviet Union, by the manufacture of first the SKS then the AK-47. There is a Model 91/59 which was a 1959 remanufacture of earlier rifles, issued to border guards and such. Could you please look more closely at the date? Normally marked on the barrel, and also under the tang at the rear? Manufacturer is important, some Model 91's were produced in very much smaller numbers than others, and collectors search to fill a collection with, for example, a U.S. Westinghouse '91, or a Chatellerault. And are you sure it is a Model 91, and not a subsequent variation? And, some Finn variations were manufactured into later periods, as well as Chinese copies. 0 -

If it's actually dated 1951? Most likely it's a Polish made M 44 carbine. If it is one of these Polish carbines, with all matching serial numbers and being factory original. It would be worth quite a bit more then a run of the mill 91-30 or M 44.0
