I finally got around to grabbing a few shots with the phone. More pics with the real camera soon.
The M39 is dated 1943 on the barrel, and turned out to be a Tikka, though by the price I don't think the seller realized this. Looks unissued with a mirror bore and hang tag attached. Receiver is Tula 1902, stock is postwar, and the trigger and mag both have Izhevsk markings.
The 91/30 is dated 1942 and has a whole assortment of markings that will take awhile to decipher. Definitely Izhevsk. Barrel is good, but not great. With significant cleaning she's starting to get a little shiny, and the rifling is edgy, but pitted up a bit in between. Bought it for a Ukrainian-American friend whose grandfather fought in WWII and whose father was born in 1942.
