That is just a drop dead gorgeous rifle, the last two snaps show it off well.

Very nice! Stock discs are really hard to find. Best on a curve logo Westinghouse.

One question. What letter is on the receiver tang on top? Westinghouses were made in three separate factories, and both of my curve logo NEWs are marked with a 'H' on the top tang. That is the Hill plant. The other two major ones are 'E' for East Springfield, and 'M' for Meridian.

That is a good piece of information. Thank you.



Any idea about this mark on the above NEW receiver?

H.K.K "Häme" cavalry regiment (Hämeen ratsurykmentti in Finnish)
Found this on a Finnish War site.

Actually I think it wont be Hämeen RatsuväkiRykmentti because its tactical abbreviation was H.R.R.

HKK isn't familiar to me, I think H could refer to Huolto (service) or so, last K must be Komppania (company), but what is middle K ? Could it be Kuljetus (transportation) ?

Hey,

H.K.K. could mean HuoltoKoulutusKeskus (Service Schooling Center) ?

I think one of the great joys of collecting milsurp weapons is trying to unlock some of the history of the firearm. I sometimes ponder as I hold one what a journey it has taken to get to me, the sights it has witnessed and the lives it has altered.
