Introduced in 1939 and rushed into service for the Winter War, the Lahti L-39 fires a 20mm anti-tank round from a top-loaded magazine and was capable of successfully engaging the Soviet armor of the era. It was fielded under the nomenclature "20 pst kiv/39" (as seen on this example). Measuring taller than a man and weighing in at close to 110 pounds, the L-39 is fitted with a ported muzzle brake, a long vented hardwood barrel shroud, left-offset blade and tangent sights, a dual-mode bipod with brass covered wood skids and swing-out spiked legs, crank-action cocking handle, smooth hardwood grips with an oversized steel handguard, wooden cheek piece, and an adjustable rubber recoil pad. The left side of the receiver bears the military nomenclature, "VKT" logo, and "SA" Finnish Army acceptance mark. Included with the lot is a transport case, five metal magazine cases and ten extra magazines.
