Great sabre .


One little question: What's the serial number on your LS ? With just above 5000 made it's kind of interesting to know. I only know of 5 of theese . 4 in norway and yours

Thanks again for all the kind comments.
You appreciating my collection makes it all worth while.
My LS26 is all matching numbers and is stamped with number 2373 and as well it has the Finnish army SA stamp.
I would like to wish you all , all the best for 2011 and good luck with finding new items for your collections.
Regards
BK

Here's another picture of the LS26 with a small display I put together a few years ago for our local Finnish veterans day celebration.

Here is an original war time leaflet dropped by the Russians on the front lines.
I have been told, many were used for toilet paper by the soldiers.
Translated it reads to the best of my ability

Finnish Soldiers
Hitler and Mannerheim have driven you to war.
wife and children suffer from hunger.
Think of your families well being.
Quite the war, choose piece with the Soviet Union.

Hi, here is my small original, named Jaeger's grouping. JB27.
The badge on the right is the cap badge.
When jaegers came to Finland in February 1918 they took in use this hat badge. It was an unofficial badge but they used until 1920´s.
The badge is copper and it has a pin needle on reverse. The badge was kept on the left side of the field hat. The size is about 37x50 cm:s.
This badge was also the first Finnish badge wore on jaeger´s uniforms.
