Description:

Though the exact history of this arm is unknown, the boxed "SA" (Suomen Armeija, Finnish Army) stamps on this arm suggest that it was originally deployed by the Russians, captured by the Finns during the Continuation War (1941-1944), and in all likelihood promptly returned to the field against it's former owners. Adjustable pin front and tangent rear sights, with "1941" and "SA" on the chamber, "SA" magazine, vented metal and wood handguard and a smooth pistol grip stock with "SA" stamped brown leather sling.

Rating Definition:

Very good, with 60% of the arsenal blue finish, showing areas of gray patina, bright edge wear and mild handling marks. The magazine is a replacement, and the bolt and bolt carrier are hand-numbered to match the receiver. Stock is good, with dents, scratches, and non-matching number. Mechanically excellent.
