Calling all Finnish M91 Mosin Nagant experts - Help needed!

I have an M91 that was gifted to me by my best friend who died of cancer last year. While I am generally familiar with the Mosin, I am not a collector or expert.  I am going to have tables at the local gunshow next month. I plan to sell it and give the money to his widow to help her out. I want to find out as much about this rifle and it’s collectability and fair market value so I can get her as much as I can for it.

It was still in the original cosmoline which I removed and cleaned  and lubed the action and bore. I also measured the FP protrusion.

I took pictures of all the markings I found.  Below is all I know for sure about it based on the markings I could identify. Many pictures follow. Thanks very much  in advance!
