anyone know the possible value of this if any?

The multiple stamps are because the rifle was probably re-arsenalled a blue jillion times between 1926 and the time it finally left the USSR/Russia. Every time some change was made, somebody had to whack a die with a hammer to prove it.

Does it have import markings? If so, it's just another hex-receiver dragoon converted to a 91/30; figure somewhere in the hundred to hundred-and-a-half range. If it doesn't have any import marks, you can add a few bucks as a pre-'68 import/GI bring-back.

You can also add a few bucks if it has a laminated stock. They're somewhat uncommon on hex-receiver 91/30s.
 
"SA" in a square is "Suomen Armeija" or "Finnish Army", and indicates a Finnish captured rifle. It's one of the few ways you'll find a post-revolution, pre-'68 (no import markings) rifle in this country.

Check for other markings in the Finnish section at Mosinnagant.net, starting here...
 
The "circled k" mark should mean that this rifle passed accuracy testing ("kuchnost"), while the lower-case "n" is actually a Cyrillic "p", showing that the barrel was proofed ("proba").
