Got a real nice M27 Tikka 1934 vintage that is Finn matched with popsicle front and a pristine bore. It has Finn sling swivels on a wartime stock and looks just too nice. There is a small stamped KK initials? on the left receiver flat at the wood line along with 4 different sets of non-matching numbers under the woodline. It is D marked with no SA markings and about 95% blue. No numbers on the mag cover and the Butt palte has 6 numbers with a N preceding them making me think that came off an old M91 somewhere along the line. I also nailed a nice, after some clean up, M38 Carcano Short Rifle with an SA mark indicating Finn ownership at one time. I haven't had time to look at that too much so I just set it aside after a quick oiling and wipedown. I also received a M39 VKT 1944 with a scrubbed tang, like the M27 had by the way. It is in a post war stock with a Finn matched bolt and no markings on the Butt palte or the mag cover. It has a slight crack at the tang and the hand guard is also cracked too. The wood altogether other than the cracks is quite pleasing although I unfortunatley can't get pictures right now. I had a good road trip corraling these babies of about 800 miles and need to get an oil change done soon here on the faithful Toyota truck. Saw a horrible accident in Cumberland, Maryland but I made good time for a 3 day trip including a Clambake Reunion with other Dupont retirees. Life is Good! Bill
