91/30, 41 marked

[sdh1911]

While cleaning the 91/30's I noticed a 41 stamped on a 1923 dated gun. The only other time I've seen the 41 is with the SA marked gun's. This gun isn't marked Finnish but, does have the 41. Does anybody know the meaning of this stamp? Many thanks-SDH

Could be a Finn capture that was soviet recaptured or one that just missed the SA stamping process in Finland.

Thanks, it is in very good condition and apprears not to have been rebuilt nor in need of it, Kinda strange considering the age-SDH

"41" on the side of the receiver has indicated the gun was captured in the Winter War, and is called the Winter War mark. Does it have the Finnish (dove-tailed) stock?
