Original early Russian Empire / Soviet Union Mosin Nagant M1891 M91 rifle wood handguard.
Overall the handguard is in excellent condition (especially considering it's about 130 years old) and appears to be unissued with some minor scratches and marks from very longterm storage with one small spot of cosmetic abrasion to the edge (please see last photo)
No cracks in the wood and the rivets / metal reinforcements are still nice and tight (no wobble).
Extremely rare piece especially in this condition.
Thanks for looking.
