We usually have Finnish military rifles, pistols, bayonets, uniforms, helmets and other things from the war. Each one of these things is important because it tells us about Finland’s history and shows how smart and tough the Finnish Army was during World War II.
Military Rifles
Finnish military rifles are some of the best made. Many of them were made using Russian parts and fixed up by famous Finnish companies like SAKO, Tikkakoski, VKT and B Barrel. Some popular ones are the M27, M28, M28/30 and the famous M39, which is said to be one of the accurate military rifles of World War II.
People who collect these rifles love them because they have barrels, good triggers and nice stocks. The ones with marks, Civil Guard marks and numbers that match are very special.
Finnish Military Pistols
The old Finnish pistols are also very cool. The Lahti L-35 9mm pistol is one of the military handguns from the war. It was made to work even in very cold weather. The Finnish Army also used pistols they took from the Soviets and ones they bought from countries.
If you can find one of these pistols with the numbers in good condition and with an old holster it is very valuable.
