Finned 1915 Peter the Great
Posted: Sun Nov 10, 2013 7:35 am
Here is my newest acquisition, a 1915 Peter the Great (Tula) that has been gone over by the Finns. All parts appear to be from Tula other than the rear sights which are from Sestroryetsk. The receiver tang also matches Tula 1915 and there is a metal shim under the barrel. The stock is Finnish along with the sling hardware and still shows the maker's mark clearly. The bolt serial matches the barrel though the mag and butt plate have no numbers. This one also sports two SA stamps, one on the rear left near the receiver and then another on upper right. There is also the Finnish "D" stamp on the stock and on the barrel. The cleaning rod is missing and there are some dents and dings in the stock but overall she looks pretty good for her age. There is little to no rust and the barrel looks great with deep rifling. Here are some pics



The imperial eagle has not been scrubbed but I cannot make out what the stamp under it is. It does not look like the "P K" proof mark but more like 2 X"s that are joined on the top middle. Any ideas?
