Bore's a little rough, but I've had others that looked like this come up rather shiny after a few range trips and cleanings.

Cleaning rod slightly bent, but still stows just fine. Small crack behind front escutcheon. Seems overall good for the age.

The Puolustuslaitos marking was an added surprise. Still reading up on that a bit.

My 2nd great experience with Simpsons LTD. I encourage you to check them out.

Yes.
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Yes.
Was it common not to deface the Soviet hammer and sickle in the earlier Finn-acquired Mosins? My M39 has the Russian Imperial Eagle somewhat defaced and I thought all Finn Mosins were as well.

Its a mixed bag. I've seen both.

I have Finn used Mosins that don't seem to have had anything done to them at all, and nothing defaced.
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.
