I had not seen a Spanish cleaning rod like that one before. If
that is a known Spanish cleaning rod than I would say you are
right. (Plus the non import marked thing). Balkan Dragoons from
all years pop up from time to time. A lot of the SCW M91's and
Dragoons had an extra notch in the rear sight base that yours
does not have, that is partially why I asked too.

Sure looks more Spanish to me then Balkans. There are a bunch of
different Spanish rods and one like this was identified
somewhere but that was a long time ago and I will never remember
that. I have Balkans rods for m91s and they don't look like
this. well one Balkans lol. The handguard I believe to be a
Spanish handguard. I am always open to different ideas for sure.
How many Balkans dragoons are there out there? I am not sure I
have heard of any. I know there are m91s and 91/30s though along
with m44s and such.

I haven't seen to many, and now that you mention it the few I
have seen or heard of were earlier dates than yours. I think the
mid 20's is the latest dated one I can recall. Here is a link to
a thread on Ted's forum that was posted a couple of years ago on
one.

(The more I look at yours though Des, the more I agree with you
that yours is SCW; but since Balkan Dragoons are an interesting
topic too, I figured why not keep the conversation going?)

They must be all horded up. A Balkans found here let alone a
dragoon Balkans is about 1 in 2 million. I did see a Balkans
maybe 40 Izhevsk but it was from a traveling gunshow. I have
had to curtail the gunbroker for a bit so have not looked on
there for fear of slip of the bid lol. Thanks for the link cause
I have not seen one on the other forum that I can remember.
