Finnish militaria

Great thread , fellas! I just got a cleaning kit for my M39 mosin-nagant but I still need a bayonet, stripper clips and a sling. I put a K98 sling on it for the meantime.

Thats an M28, not an M39...

It sits in an M27 stock, which is seen on M28s that were refurbed post-war..

I have couple textile slings with SA stamps of course, mint condition, and couple used leather slings.
I wonder, Dean, how much it cost to send you sling in a letter if you need...?
Bayonets are really expensive here these days, M/27-28 bayos starting from 120€ over 200€, and
M/39 with SKY stamps starting from 170 to 280€uros...!

And if you guys need clips, look here: Latauskampoja

My m/39 rifle (upper) with leather sling-to be honest, I doubt the sling would bear the weight of the rifle for any period of time compared to a web example...

[Hakaristi]

My M/39 and wooden box is for Molotov`s cocktails (petrol bomps).

I didn't think there were any M39 bayonets left, I read that they were all destroyed after the war. I see something else I need to save up for now.

You can still buy the M39 Bayonets in Finland , the Finnish army were selling them a few years ago for 150 euros each but now days you will need to find a dealer who is selling one but watch out for the US made fakes that turn up on Ebay at times normally with the wrong maker name on the bayonet

"I read that they were all destroyed after the war."
Where did you read this kind of information!? =)

[fernleaf]

I've read that SOME Finnish Bayonets were destroyed in the 1970s, but not ALL....
