yea all I did was put my finger in front of my flash.... had some problems with the flash over glaring on me
You decided to move the pics around on photobucket didn't you? I did that last year so everything would be neatly arranged and I could find stuff. While doing it I broke the links to over 700 photos on the board . Still fixing that mess.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

The 41 mark is unknown but found on Finnish captured Russian made Rifles. Years ago it was thought to have been in relation to the Continuation War but now that is in dispute by many because of the years of the rifles it has been found on. Another mystery for us to talk over! Very collectable Finnish captured rifle and your choice shows good judgment and taste! Congrats on a nice one! Bill
I thought they found the original copy of the orders for the 41 stamp from the head general at the time, and that proved the theory?? Has that changed again??
Hasn't anyone asked our Finnish members about it? I learned it from K-H years back from one of his posts about the Finn rifles. It's too bad we no longer have the posts K-H put up, but many were lost years back when Bob still had the board. They were a fantastic source of information.
