That's about double it's worth. The Poles made good ones, but not that good. This is just my opinion, but of the Mosins, the M44 is the least desireable of the various models due to the heavy bayonette hanging off of it.

A lot of the Polish-made guns are new, or close to it. Moisin-Nagants will never be pretty, but the workmanship on the Polish guns is much better than the Russian guns. The barrels on the Polish guns are frequently mint, not frosted/pitted/counterbored. like the Russians.

All that being said, $230 seems high.
