Hello All! I hope everybody had a great weekend!
This is part of a series delving into my late Father's collection, background here:
Steve's Guns Pt 1 - Antique Long
Steve's Guns Pt 2 - The Mausers
Steve's Guns Pt 3 - The Enfields
Steve's Guns Pt 4 - The Nagants
Steve's Guns Pt 5 - Misc. Bolt Action
Steve's Guns Pt 6 - Misc. Semi-Auto Rifles
Steve's Guns Pt 7 - The Kalashnikovs

Mosins in this post! Definitely a big spread from nice to junky with this selection. After this post are the really nice misc bolt actions (US, Swiss, French).
Fortunately, these are all identified as my Dad kept a lot of notes, which I have included below - what I'm not as able to tell on my own is if any of these items stand out as being particularly unique or cool from a historical or collector's standpoint and I'm trying to get a general ballpark sense of the value of these items. I'm also not 100% sure if they are graded correctly - grades are often cited in the notes, but I'm not sure where they come from (dealer he purchased from, did he grade them on his own, etc.) and whether or not they are accurate. Finally, just wanting to share, he had some cool stuff and I figure that there is someone who will appreciate it and they're probably subscribed to this board!
As always if you take the time to have a look, I appreciate you - thank you very much!
