I don't think I'm far of the mark in saying that there were quite a number of Romanian troops manning the Atlantic Wall in France and Belgium that would have been equipped with Mosins that had been captured off the Soviets.

That is certainly a rare, and very nice, Mosin with a fascinating history.
