Meaning of M stamp in clothes?

[mathat]

Might be silly question but what this M stamp means in clothes?...

[Verikauha]

M stamp in finnish clothing means "Myyty" = Sold. To prevent used sold items being taken back to army cloth distribution.

A lot of, or practically army sold all their wartime uniforms used by it's soldiers. So they can go home at least clothed as they didn't have civilian cloths as they disbanded about 350-400,000 soldiers back home at end of the year 1944.

Read from book today, continuing previous answer.

That Finnish army had 542 000 soldiers in arms at August 1944. And at first batch included 360 000 soldiers to be demobilized at september 1944.
The units marched back to their civil guard districts from which they were mobilized, from which earliest men had gone to war at 1939 had then returned home. And there they gave away their weapons, equipment, army belt and cockade.

They received cloths they were wearing for homecoming, which included boots, cap, greatcoat and tunic from which they were ordered to cut their shoulderboards off.
